| The Surgeon of Crowthorne by Winchester, Simon Two distinguished-looking Victorians, both learned and serious, yet from very different worlds: one a brilliant polymath, the other a madman and a murderer. Dr James Murray, erudite and pious, who broke free from an impoverished childhood to become a towering figure of British scholarship. Dr WC Minor, lascivious, charasmatic, a millionaire American Civil War Surgeon and homicidal lunatic. Confined to Broadmoor Asylum, he pursued his passion for words and become one of the Oxford English Dictionary's most valued contributors. | $7.00 |
