Richard Burton
‘ After reading this affectionately candid biography, it is hard not to echo Olivier’ s response on hearing of Burton’ s death: “ He was so young, so young” ’ Daily Mail A man of contradictions, Richard Burton’ s life and remarkable career are revealed by a writer who knew him from 1968 up to Burton’ s last film.

From nursing Burton through an epileptic seizure to witnessing Burton’ s part in East End gang violence, this is an intimate and deeply moving biography.

In this new study, cultural historian Peter Stead shows how Burton's Welshness shaped his character and his career.
