There are also pieces on Ben Jonson, Samuel Johnson, W.M. Thackeray, G.K. Chesterton, Gerard Manley Hopkins, T.S. Eliot, Penelope Fitzgerald, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Edith Sitwell, as well as Henry V, Henry VIII, John Ruskin, A.W.N. Pugin, Winston Churchill, Edward VII, Kenneth Clark, Henry Irving, Alec Guinness, John Osborne, and the Queen Mother. And, last but not least, an extended essay on Cardinal Newman and the idea of sanctity.
