CONTROVERSIAL
ESSAYS
By JOHN SPARROW
Warden of All Souls' College, Oxford
"He is a formidable scholar. There is indeed something
terrifying about the intensity with which he stalks
inaccuracy ... His essay on the Eichmann trial and on
Hannah Arendt's treatment of it is the best I have
read." -
NOEL ANNAN,
The Obse1"V137·
"John Sparrow is altogether honest and lucid ••• in–
tensely readable ... and often extremely amusing .••"
-D. J. ENRIGHT,
New Statesman
"Mr. Sparrow is a perfectionist, a critic who demands
the same degree of accuracy and perception in others
as he is·prepared to bring to his own productions."
