<p> Kingsley Amis described Paul Johnson's <i>Intellectuals</i> as ?a valuable and entertaining Rogues' Gallery of <i>Adventures of the Mind</i>.? Now the celebrated journalist and historian offers <i>Creators</i>, a companion volume of essays that examines a host of outstanding and prolific creative spirits. Here are Disney, Picasso, Bach, and Shakespeare; Austen, Twain, and T. S. Eliot; and Dürer, Hokusai, Pugin, and Viollet-le-Duc, among many others. </p> <p> Paul Johnson believes that creation cannot be satisfactorily analyzed, but it can be illustrated to bring out its salient characteristics. That is the purpose of this instructive and witty book. </p>
