Description

James Lees-Milne: A Life

This biography portrays a life rich in contradictions, in which an unassuming youth overtook more dazzling contemporaries to emerge as a leading figure in the fields of conservation and letters. Michael Bloch's portrayal reveals Jim's bisexual love life, his tempestuous marriage, and his friendships with notable literary figures.

Through Lees-Milne's vivid diaries, Bloch depicts a man who was romantically attached to the England of his childhood and felt out of tune with his own times. Yet, despite this sense of disconnection, Jim left an enduring legacy through the preservation of country houses and his eloquent chronicling of a dying world.
