Richard Ollard is one of Britain's most distinguished C17th historians and book editors. He and Norman Lewis were jointly awarded the 1998 Heywood Hill Prize. His biography of Rowse, A Man of Contradictions, was published in 1999. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
A.L. Rowse was a prolific and opinionated diarist. He counted amongst his close friends and enemies some of the brightest and most influential of his contemporaries. We see here the transformation from shy Cornish prodigy to best-selling author and feted academic, as well as the lasting contradictions in his character - the tender-hearted and sensitive man given to towering rages and lasting vendettas; the painstaking historian; brilliant researcher; and advocate of modernism who became famous as a popular historian.
