Ironical details from our own days are presented, such as Sickert's encounter with Peter Sutcliffe, later identified as the 'Yorkshire Ripper', who pestered Sickert for inside information about his famous predecessor. A fascinating insight into important questions of recent English history. Illus., Appendices, Notes, Bibliog. and Index. 265pp. p/back.
