HERETICS IN LOVE

By James Lees-Milne

- Default Title
Description
JLM was both a prolific and versatile author. Altogether he brought out thirty-four volumes during his lifetime, including works of architectural and general history, biographies, novels and memoirs. Although James Lees-Milne aspired to be a writer from his earliest years, he was almost middle-aged before he got a book into print. His first title, The Age of Adam, was published by Batsford in 1947, when he was thirty-eight. There followed two further works of architectural history, Tudor Renaissance (1951) and The Age of Inigo Jones (1953). Now dated, these books created some excitement at the time. Most previous writing on the subject had been rather technical; and JLM was one of a small number of writers (another being his friend Sacheverell Sitwell) who succeeded in making it accessible to the general reader. Heretics in Love (1973), set in a house modelled on JLM's grandmother's, takes incest as its theme. Most of JLM’s books other than his diaries are now out of print - with the notable exception of Another Self, which was reissued by Michael Russell in 2003 and the film rights in which were sold in 2008.
