Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"'This biography excels in providing a scrupulous, detailed narrative from the ground up... Gordon always, across 340 pages of detailed narrative, gives us the story in its full complexity.' (James Simpson, Times Literary Supplement) 'Those who want to engage with the facts should read Bruce Gordon's book Calvin, which is outstanding.' (David A. Robertson, Prospect) 'a considered book, balanced and fair, and very informative, written in an accessible manner... what is so salutary is the sanity of tone and the justice of the assessments... Disliked in his day as a foreigner, and disparaged now as a fanatic, poor Calvin deserves reassessment, and Bruce Gordon's biography achieves this well.' (Edward Norman, Literary Review) 'Masterful... this biography succeeds spectacularly by allowing a vivid insight into the life and world of Calvin, using generous quotations from his correspondence.' (Hilmar Pabel, The Tablet)"mehr
