John Sparrow: Warden of All Souls College, Oxford
Presenting hitherto unpublished letters and papers which vividly evoke the contemporary Oxford scene, Peter Raina traces the many and diverse talents of this notable college figure. John Sparrow may have been a generalist, but he dabbled in depth in many disciplines and is deserving of this analysis.
The Warden
This text presents an interpretation of the course, causes and characters of the Spanish Civil War, one of the 20th century's bloodiest internal conflicts.

Words on the Air
Proper words in proper places, remarked Dean Swift, make the true definition of style. According to this definition, John Sparrow fully qualifies as a stylist. His skillful compound of wit, pungency, and accurate observation, his irreverence, his ear for language and hatred of cant are unsurpassed. This book brings together pieces broadcast by the BBC, a series of lectures at the University of Chicago, and, even, a university sermon. It proves that John Sparrow is one of those rare people whose spoken words lose none of their power when translated to the printed page.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
