An outstanding biography, first published 25 years ago when it
deservedly won great praise and prizes... Wilson is an ideal
biographer
*Daily Mail*
Magisterial... Wilson has an advantage over a mere biographer,
looking not to judge his subject but to fully understand the
inspirations behind his great works
*Daily Express*
Wilson is a playful biographer, whose pithiest points are made with
a frivolity in gratifying contrast to Tolstoy's odiously
sententious disciples
*Spectator*
