Items related to Anglo-Saxon Attitudes
The grotesque idol discovered in Bishop Eorpwald's tomb has scandalized, mystified and inspired a whole generation of scholars. As a young man Gerald Middleton was involved with the dig. Now an eminent historian, he is none the less haunted by a sense of failure both as a man and as a scholar.

Review:
"After Evelyn Waugh, what? The answer is Angus Wilson, a master of mimicry, diction, intention and wit." --Edmund Wilson "One of the five greatest novels of the century." --Anthony Burgess ..".brilliant and ambitious...In every generation one or two novelists revise the conventional picture of English character. Mr. Wilson does this." --V.S. Pritchett, New Statesman and Nation "It's Dickens for the smart set, or Edmund Wilson with a dash of savage silliness." --Susan Salter Reynolds, The Los Angeles Times "So read this splendid novel and you will find yourself not only entertained and at times vastly amused, but actually wiser about human nature. You will not only experience vicariously some interesting slices of postwar English life, but you will be conducted into a world of fine moral and ethical distinctions, which are this novelist's particular forte. Much wisdom and humanity are to be found in the pages ofAnglo-Saxon Attitudes." --Martin Rubin, The Washington Times
About the Author:
Angus Wilson (1913-1991) worked as a deputy superintendent of the British Museum Reading Room before establishing a reputation with a collection of short stories, The Wrong Set. A novel, Hemlock and After, one of the first English books to describe the lives of gay men, brought more success, and Wilson began a prolific career as a writer of fiction, criticism, and reviews. He was a professor of English at the University of East Anglia and spent his last years in France. Jane Smiley, winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, is the author of many novels and other works. In 2010 she published Private Life, a novel; A Good Horse, a book for young adults; and The Man Who Invented the Computer, the first volume of the Sloane American Inventors series.
