In this companion volume to his bestselling Intellectuals, Paul Johnson looks at a number of creative artists, including T. S. Eliot, Johann Sebastian Bach, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Christian Dior, and Pablo Picasso. He explains the different ways in which Jane Austen, Madame de Stael, and George Eliot struggled to make their voices heard as women in a male-dominated world. Exploring the life of Victor Hugo, he discusses whether creative genius and low intelligence can co-exist. And Johann Sebastian Bach provides possible clues about the role of genetics in creativity.
