*"This is a refreshing and engaging book that despite its controversial conclusions manages to restore the life and spirit of the period." Peter Ackroyd, The Times* "Fascinating, highly readable and authoritative." The Scotsman* "Remarkable...a miraculous blend of history and literary reappraisal that is both light-hearted and entertaining." Good Book Guide* "A meaty, hugely enjoyable read...
