William Peacock : English Prose from Mandeville to Ruskin

‘You letter gave me great pleasure; and for once I took your advice on a matter of books, to the extent of buying that World’s Classics Selection you mentioned (I have the first, selected by Peacock) and am just one reading it … I read little now, and auction bridge (O game of games!) debating, a little music, and spending boring evenings with fools occupy me much.’

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Ivor Bertie Gurney      Print: Book
