Abstract

Biographies in Brief
July 3, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on several biographical books. The book "The Life of H. R. H. the Duke of Flamborough," by Laurence Housman is a rather ineffectual attempt to parody the intimate, debunking biography of our day. Sooner or later some one was certain to try his hand at this sort of thing; but this book too frequently offers heavy-handed humor for the pointed pertness and arch flippancy that abound in really good burlesques. Some other books are "People: The Autobiography of a Mystery Writer," by Edgar Wallace and "As God Made Them," by Gamaliel Bradford.
