Abstract

Biographies in Brief
January 16, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article literally appraises several biographies. The biographies are: "Voltaire: Genius of Mockery," by Victor Thaddeus; "The Fourth Musketeer: The Life of Alexandre Duraas," by T. Lucas-Dubreton; "Thomas Lovell Beddoes: Eccentric and Poet," by Royall H. Snow. Mr. Thaddeus is one of our most admirable concocters of what may be termed the Sunday Supplement biography. The biography is a sober and careful study that will undoubtedly stand as a definitive account of Beddoes's life and work, replacing Sir Edmund Gosse's fine but sketchy memoir.
