Heresies and heretics [electronic resource] : memories of the twentieth century / by George Watson. Cambridge : Lutterworth Press, 2013. 1 online resource (192 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier In this enjoyably iconoclastic book, George Watson discusses some of the great heresies of the twentieth century, and the cultural heretics who espoused them, often with surprising results. Watson provides us with examples of 'true', original heretics, from Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, who asserted that his study of the remote past had made a radical of him, rather than any influence of modernism, to others such as Douglas Adams, whom Watson knew as an undergraduate. Watson forces us to question various long-cherished political and intellectual assumptions in his witty and conversational style. Is.
