“Best book ever written on Declaration of Independence is the late ( and deeply missed) Pauline Maier’s 1997 wonderful, readable work American Scripture”
“@MarBenCel1 Little Dorrit's opening and closing are astonishing unlike anything else in his books I think more like Hugo or even Zola.. Architecture, is a character in its own right as it is so often w Hugo. Miss Wade a riveting character.”
