Industry Reviews "McCrory is a modest, unassuming, even inhibited writer, who has painstakingly assembled unadorned facts (almost all of which he gets right) and sifted the scholarship on the context of his subject's life. He says nothing new, but he says it efficiently, painlessly and usefully....[H]e is mercifully free of literary theory [and] commendably frank about his enthusiasms." Literary Review - Felipe Fernandez-Armesto (04/01/2002)
