John Betjeman: New Fame, New Love

By Bevis Hillier

Book Overview

Following Young Betjeman, in which the poet secretly married, found his eccentric genius and, as Philip Larkin said, became Betjeman, this volume deals with his zenith years. Now he wins fame not just for his poems but as a tastemaker opening eyes to the Victorian ages, as a battling conservationist and as a television personality, one of the Old Masters of a new medium.
