«Anglo-Saxon Attitudes» is Angus Wilson's satirical novel, published by NYRB Classics in paperback (360 pages, in English).
Gerald Middleton, a sixty-year-old historian and failure with a conscience, conceals that the pagan idol found in an excavation, inside a seventh-century bishop's coffin, was a fraud that scandalized academic England; revealing it would destroy the comfortable lies of his life.
Originally published in 1956, this edition from the New York Review Books Classics collection includes an introduction by Jane Smiley.
For readers of twentieth-century British fiction and social satire with black humor.
Sir Angus Frank Johnstone-Wilson was an English novelist and short story writer. He was one of England's first openly gay authors. He was awarded the 1958 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for The Middle Age of Mrs Eliot and later received a knighthood for his services to literature.
