A MAN OF CONTRADICTIONS A Life of A.L. Rowse
by Richard Ollard | Read by Geoffrey Howard
Biography & Memoir • 13.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1999
The colorful, egomaniacal, and contentious intellectual A.L. Rowse rose out of an illiterate Cornish home to become a controversial historian and literary scholar. Though a professed admirer, the author gives us a well-rounded portrait. Geoffrey Howard has a good British-inflected sound for documentary--Apollonian, dignified, crisp, and intelligent. Y.R.
