In at least one of the A.R. Biographies I recall reading
that Evgenia Ransome (sp?) never liked "The Picts and the
Martyr's" but I don't recall that there was any explanation
as to why she disliked it.
I myself recently reread that book, and found myself puzzling
as to what it was to dislike about the book. The only thing
that comes to mind is that I could see someone dissapproving
of the whole "web of deceit" that the book is based on. But
then it seemed that even many of the characters themselves came
to regret the deception, but couldn't see how to disentangle
themselves.
Anyone have any better ideas or reasons to share?
