- Summary:
- "Here are dapper, choosy Max (1872-1956) and the massive unitdy G.K.C. (1874-1936) together again in the great age of verbal parody, penetrating caricature, and the writer as personality. In considering their life and and works, William Blissett discloses a host of new details bearing on how the two essayist-cartoonists viewed their Edwardian world with its roots in Victorian grandeur and facing a troubled new century" -- Back cover.
