G. M. Trevelyan on Arthur Bryant

“I have read it with delight. Every page of it is alive with the sense of the reality of those times. To read it will hearten us all for the struggle in which we are now engaged. It will warm your heart and teach a lesson too.”

“It is my hope and belief that your Toryism, without ceasing to be Toryism, is broadening into Englishry, as I hope my Whiggery has to some extent so broadened in the course of years. You will hold an important place—you do already—as interpreter of the country's history to the new generation, probably more important than anyone else now—so it matters a lot.”
