English Eccentrics
By:Edith Sitwell
Published on 1971-01 by
Eccentricity exists particularly in the English, states Dame Edith Sitwell, because of |that peculiar and satisfactory knowledge of infallibility that is the hallmark and the birthright of the British nation.| Originally published in 1933, | The English Eccentrics |has lost none of its vitality and wit. We find hermits, quacks, mariners, indefatigable travelers, and men of learning. We meet the amphibious Lord Rokeby, whose beard reached his knees and who seldom left his bath; the irascible Captain Thicknesses, who left his right hand, to be cut off after his death, to his son Lord Audley; and Curricle Coats, the Gifted Amateur, whose suit was sewn with diamonds and whose every performance ended in uproar. This is a glorious gallery of the extremes of human nature, portrayed with humor, sympathy, knowledge, and love.
