A Darin Reassment of Four Twentieth Century Eccentrica. Sir William Joynson-Hicks, Dean Inge, Lord Reith and Sir Arthur Bryant. From the winner of the Political Book Awards 2013 Best Political Biography. In this daring group biography, the author explores the extraordiinary lives of four of these Victorian survivors: the 'Puritan Home Secretary', William Joynson-Hicks (1865-1932; the 'Gloomy Dean' of St. |Paul's Cathedral, W. R. Inge (1860-1954); the beliggerent founder of the BBC, John Reith (1889-1971), and the ultra-patriotic popular historian and journalist Arther Bryant (1899-1985).
