'This is the most exciting sort of biography to read, or to write- the myth-dispelling biography which overturns an old story, and does so most convincingly' New Statesman

This is the most exciting sort of biography to read, or to write:
the myth-dispelling biography which overturns an old story, and
does so most convincingly'

If it is a test of a good biography to send the reader hot-foot to

triumphantly
