Book Description
This 1956 book, which developed from the Prince Consort Prize Essay of 1952, tells the life story of Hugh du Puiset. Charming, distinguished, arrogant, unscrupulous but above all ambitious, du Puiset died a disappointed man. It was to his ambition that he owed both his success and his downfall.
