Laid inaged contemporary newspaper cutting literary review of the book. Helen Waddell was one of the most sensitive and scholarly best-selling authors of the 1920's and 1930's.'Peter Abelard' has been reprinted over thirty times in its original editionas well as having been translated into nine European languages.A recent adaptation has also had a record-breaking run on the stage then 1973.But before writing what turned out to be her most popular workshe had already been made famous by 'The Wandering Scholar'for which the critical acclaim is quoted in this book.Her other books on the Middle Ages include 'Mediaeval Latin Lyrics' 'The Desert Fathers'and 'Beasts and Saints'. She was born in 1889the youngest of ten children of an Ulster Presbyterian ministera pioneer missionary in Manchuria and Japan'the Vicar of Wakefield turned Chinese Scholar'as she later described him.Her mother died when she was twobut her career at school and later at Queen's UniversityBelfast and Somerville CollegeOxfordwas a series of triumphs.In 1934 her books had made her comfortably offand when her London flat was pulled downshe made what proved the fatal mistake of buying a large damp and unwieldly house in Primrose Hill Roadto accommodate 'all her beloved family and still have rooms to spare'.Even before it was badly damaged in the Blitz it was to be a constant source of trouble and expenseand a disastrous distraction from the work that was the mainspring of her life.Throughout the war years she continued her work both for Constable UK publisherand the magazine 'The Nineteenth Century'while being gradually worn out by constant major domestic difficultiesand the incessant personal demands that were made on her.In 1947 she gave the eighth W.P. Ker Memorial Lecture at Glasgowreprinted herebut ill-health prevented any other major work up till her death in 1965. Her most illustrious admirers included professors such as George SaintsburyJ.W. MackailGilbert Murray and Sir Frederick Pollock; among poets Yeats Walter de la Mare and Siegfried Sassoon; public men like Stanley Baldwin and Lord Londonderry; and a wide range of authorsamong them Max Beerbohm Virginia Woolf Enid Starkie Rose Macaulay Charles Morgan and David Cecil.The author and her brother were among Helen Waddell's closest friends.
