Classicist, poet, wit, raconteur extraordinary, and Warden of Wadham College for over thirty years, he met nearly everyone of consequence in the worlds of literature and politics and had stories to tell about them all, from Jean Cocteau to Virginia Woolf, from Adolf Hitler to the Kennedys, from Isaiah Berlin to Charlie Chaplin. 606 $aCollege teachers$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aClassicists$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aCollege teachers 615 0$aClassicists 676 $a378.42574092 700 $aMitchell$b L.
