"As a supplement to the biography itself, or simply read for its own sake, Benson's account which entertainingly interweaves personal anecdote and critical insight, is a lively revelation of what can happen when a genial academic decides to devote a large chunk or his life to that of another man.... An unusual but rewarding reading experience." - Choice
