Brian Kennedy has uncovered much new material, including personal letters and diaries, about Anderson's Scottish past and his conflicted public and private life in Australia. His relations with students were complex; with women they were decidedly problematic. Warts and all, Anderson has much to teach us about universities in the intellectual life as this lucid and incisive book makes clear. -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
