  The Heart of the Writer , companion volume to The Maker of the Omnibus , contains revealing information about English writers. Where the first volume focussed on their creativity and the influences which helped to shape them, this one concentrates on their own natures and personalities. It offers a catalogue of writers' attitudes to parenthood, love and marriage, as well as fame, showing patterns of similarity and contrast, and sometimes unlikely parallels. It also shows the range of ways in which a nation remembers them.
