He proclaimed himself a genius and raged against the slightest criticism from fellow scholars; he was a Marxist who despised the 'Idiot People'; he could be generous yet hurled insults at his friends; he inveighed against Puritanism but was himself in many ways a Puritan: A L Rowse was a man of many contradictions. This book tells his story.
