And while, thanks to the NHS, I am in this expansive mood may I
comment that the TLS (Sean O'Brien) and the LRB (August Kleinhalzer)
commented faviourably on Keith Alldritt's new biography. He seems to
be a journeyman biographer who has done a decent job on Basil. Although
Kleinhalzer deplores CUP's pricing policy placing the much finer Peter
Makin book out of the financial reach of the ordinary reader. He says
it is now out of print anyway. A tiny print run presumably.
I hope Durham get the Alldritt in for Ric to read and comment on.
And I thoroughly recommend the LRB review. The man knows his stuff.
