Praise for the 1948-1998 edition of Various Voices:

Obligatory reading for anyone who values and enjoys original and intelligent writing.' Sunday Telegraph
'His concern for language and his moral force coalesce and give some of his political writing a rare power . . . It is a journey of heart, mind and spirit.' Financial Times
'Various Voices is an engrossing collection of prose and verse and should be obligatory reading for anyone who values and enjoys original and intelligent writing . . . the directly political pieces are written with the clarity and anger of a latter-day Swift.' Sunday Telegraph
