Description
Summary:Charles Portales Golightly's portrait, looking out from the cover of Andrew Atherstone's book, serves as a good introduction to the subject of this meticulous and well-researched book. The portrait shows a heavy-featured face, with an honest bovine expression, and without much trace of intellectual vivacity or originality. It is easy to project onto it the image transmitted by his contemporaries: that of a man of limited but fixed opinions (resisting all doctrinal or liturgical innovation), plain speaking, not lacking in personal warmth, and perhaps craving human affection.
