Jolly interesting! Rather a tome - took me three years to get round to reading it because it is a paper brick, nay breize block. Well worth the effort however, because it tells you about lots of interesting writers, characters, minds and works that you haven't heard of, and they are just as

interesting as the ones you have heard of.
Great, increases the number of interesting things to read et c., and illustrates the political point that it has happened.
