The letters that passed between Mark Pattison--revered scholar and
renowned educational reformer--and Meta Bradley--Pattison's
cherished friend and confidante--are among the most remarkable and
intimate records of middle-class life in Victorian England. Often
moving, sometimes sad, they tell the story of an extraordinary
friendship between the Rector of an Oxford college, a married man
in his seventies, and a woman some forty years his junior. In
character Pattison was an original, the possible prototype for
George Eliot's Dr. Casaubon in Middlemarch. After his marriage to
the beautiful and artistic Francis Strong went sour, he became
friendly with Meta Bradley. But when the sharp disapproval of their
friends, relatives, and Oxford society prevented more than
occasional meetings, an almost daily correspondence by letter
became their primary recourse. These 450 or so letters, most never
before published, paint detailed portraits of the enigmatic
Pattison and other leading personalities, and provide unique
first-hand insights into the lives and values of Victorian academic
and middle-class society. The editor offers a valuable commentary
on the personalities and issues involved in the correspondence, and
in a conclusion follows the lives of the central characters in the
years after Pattison's death.

From Caligula to Stalin and beyond, this book offers a unique and
pioneering look at the recurring phenomenon of the 'mad king' from
the early centuries of the Christian era to modern times. The
remarkable facts that emerge lead the author to contend that mental
health has played a determinant part in the making of history,
where private traumas provoke the public policies of deranged
statesmen. This controversial study makes for fascinating reading;
it also offers a challenging new perspective on our understanding
both of history and contemporary politics.
