Bücher von Bevis Hillier

Bevis Hillier has dedicated more than twenty-five years to writing Betjeman's life, a task entrusted to him by the poet himself. Patrick Taylor-Martin wrote: 'It is impossible to imagine the job done by anyone more intelligent, industrious or sympathetic.' He is an authority on eighteenth-century English ceramics and on Art Deco -- on which he wrote the first English book in 1968. He edited Betjeman's Uncollected Poems (now included in Collected Poems), compiled John Betjeman: A Life in Pictures ('a heavenly book', A.L. Rowse) and is the author of Young Betjeman and John Betjeman: New Fame, New Love. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Society of Literature.
