Anglo-Saxon Attitudes
by Angus Wilson (1913-1991) English
Introduction by Jane Smiley
It's 1954, and Gerard Middleton is a 60-year-old self-proclaimed failure. Worse than that, he's a “a failure with a conscience.” As a young man, he was involved in an archaeological dig that turned up a heathen idol in the coffin of a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon bishop, thereby scandalizing a generation. Now, Middleton must confront his estranged children, his alcoholic former mistress, and a nagging sense of failure in order to expose the greatest archaeological hoax of the century.
