A fascinating collection of memorial addresses on celebrated lives.
The eulogy is a literary form like no other: to compress a lifetime
into minutes, to summon the person, what they meant to their
friends, colleagues, and sometimes a wider context, to be moved to
grief, laughter, sadness and fond memories, to mix praise for
virtue with the acknowledgement of foibles, to choose a few
anecdotes form the hundreds available, is a very different art to
that of the dry obituarist. Angela Huth has collected come of the
sparking examples of the form - by or about writers, politicians,
actors, sportsmen, academics, and, in some cases, unknown but
well-remembered friends. This is a treasury of remembrance, fine
writing and good lives.
