Footnotes
"In an age of subjective fiction Evelyn Waugh stands out as an objective novelist. He is not given to self-analysis.... His biography of Ronald Knox demanded and elicited a deeper level of portraiture" (Patrick Balfour, article for the Sunday Times, 13 September 1964).
Provenance: Patrick Balfour, 3rd Baron Kinross (1904-1976). Balfour was himself of course a distinguished biographer, notably for his Atatürk: The Rebirth of a Nation, 1964.
