"The Heart of the Writer", companion volume to "The Maker of the Omnibus", contains revealing information about English writers. Where the first volume focussed on their creativity and the influences which helped to shape them, this one concentrates on their own natures and personalities. It offers a catalogue of writers' attitudes to parenthood, love and marriage, as well as fame, showing patterns of similarity and contrast, and sometimes unlikely parallels. It also shows the range of ways in which a nation remembers them.

About the Author:
Jack Hodges first left school at fifteen to avoid being evacuated. He was thirty when he entered the College of St Mark and St John, Chelsea. At thirty-nine he graduated in English Honours at Birkbeck, London. Although he always wanted to write, he does not regret the thirty-three years he spent in teaching.
