Ian Hamilton a first-rate biographer who encountering his share of adversity in writing the life of J.D. Salinger is the perfect chronicler of such controversies in this brilliant study first published in 1992 which charts the course of literary biography from Donne and Shakespeare to Plath and Larkin.Such a compelling read. Antonia Fraser TimesLively and informative powerfully and humorously written. Anthony Burgess ObserverSurely the funniest book ever written on the doom-laden issue of posthumous literary fame.
