<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><em>"The sight of duty does make one shiver," said Miss Herrick. "The actual doing of it would kill one, I think."</em> <p>Ever anxious to keep up appearances, self-avowed intellectual and scholar Nicholas Herrick knows that to involve himself in the running of his own school would be a condescension too far. Assembling around himself a cast of fittingly fawning friends and aides, he sets about unveiling his final masterpiece. Described in contemporary reviews as "a work of genius," <em>Pastors and Masters </em>inaugurated the writing career of an author gifted with a rare skill for characterization and for wry portrayals of domestic scenes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) was a celebrated English novelist noted for her wit and sardonic style, and a recipient of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
