ISBN: 9780171460513.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Buchan has been respected and revered by a large following, but he has also been criticised as a Jew-hater, racist, purveyor of \"snobbery with violence\" and jingoist. In The Interpreters House, the first full-length analysis of Buchans work, David Daniell contests that such criticism is both irrelevant and wrong. He also discusses Buchans literary development carefully and minutely, showing his progress as a novelist from his first fiction, Sir Quixote, written in his teens, to his last, the much-misunderstood Sick Heart River forty-five years later. Buchan is seen, too, as a biographer of stature, from his early work while an undergraduate at Glasgow University to the substantial, full-length accounts of Montrose and Sir Walter Scott, Cromwell, Julius Caesar and Augustus Caeser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113322242101,"sku":"ByrdShop_0171460510","price":225.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780171460513_5cf3608c-cbff-4dd6-b850-7dede5804d13.jpg?v=1776450641","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-interpreters-house-a-critical-assessment-of-john-buchan-9780171460513","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
