¶ An excellent biography of M R James, which focuses mainly on James’ historical and bibliographical works and academic career rather than the ghost stories for which he’s famous nowadays. Like James, Pfaff was a medieval historian. Pfaff studies James' outstanding academic and professional career achievements, with a focus on his time as a leading antiquarian, Dean of King's College, Vice Chancellor of Cambridge, and Provost of Eton.
