The Diaries of A.L.Rowse by Alfred Lestie Rowe
A.L. Rowse's journals extend over the greater part of the 20th century. Born in 1903, the son of a poor, virtually illiterate Cornish china-clay worker, he became one of the most prolific authors of his time and one of the most read. For 50 years a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford (its first working-class entrant) he seized the opportunities offered in scholarship, in literature, in politics and above all in public controversy.
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.
