In the basement of his large, anonymous North London house, Charles Cleasby obsessively reenacts the admiral's every military maneuver: "Usually when we fought these battles I had a feeling of fulfilment, they brought me closer to him..." Cleasby's admiration also extends upstairs--to his life's work, a biography of the great man. His only assistant in his heroic struggle is Miss Lily (real name, Lilian Butler), a hired secretary who carefully transcribes his painstaking pages. Cleasby wants nothing better than to rescue Nelson from the revisionist clutches of unpatriotic academic cynics. Alas, his passion soon reveals a sinister side, as he declares that he is in fact the admiral's twin:
I will say what I think angels are. They can be dark or bright, but they all have the gift of spontaneity, of creating themselves anew. This is a pure form of energy, and Horatio was winged with it. All the same, angels are not complete, they need their counterparts, the dark needs the bright, the hidden needs the open, and vice versa. Sometimes they meet and recognize each other. Sometimes, as with Horatio and me, the pairing occurs over spaces of time or distance. He became a bright angel on February 14, 1797, during the Battle of Cape St. Vincent. I became his dark twin on September 9, 1997, when I too broke the line.
As the book builds to its inexorable climax--and Cleasby's only solace is his amanuensis--Losing Nelson confirms Unsworth as one of England's most elegant, understated novelists. His historical grasp of Nelson is outstanding. But his book really excels, and also profoundly disturbs, in its exploration of the tarnished angels of patriotism. --Jerry Brotton]]> 1999 0 0 false Fri Nov 06 14:06:54 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 14:06:54 -0800 2009 71780981 2755049 1058771 0003933211 5 <![CDATA[Losing Nelson]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180632765m/1058771.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180632765s/1058771.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1058771.Losing_Nelson 3.63 54 1999 4 0 false Sat Sep 19 10:51:24 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 10:51:24 -0700 2009 71417931 2744709 239590 0393321177 9780393321173 0 <![CDATA[Losing Nelson]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173029831m/239590.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173029831s/239590.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239590.Losing_Nelson 3.33 3 Losing Nelson, a gripping study of the dark side of heroism and hero worship.
