Anthony Burgess draws upon an autobiographical episode to create
Beard's Roman Women, the story of a man haunted by his first wife,
presumed dead. But is she? A marvellously economical book,
full-flavoured, funny, and heartfelt, showing its author at the
height of his powers. This new edition is the first to be published
with David Robinson's photographs for over forty years. The text of
the novel has been restored using the original typescripts, and
Graham Foster's new introduction provides valuable insight into the
fictional and biographical contexts of the novel. The text is fully
annotated with a detailed set of notes and this edition includes
the previously unpublished script for Burgess's television film By
the Waters of Leman: Byron and Shelley at Geneva, and a rare piece
of Burgess's writing about Rome. -- .
