A more accurate title would have been Keith Vaugan: His Art and Life. It could be argued that it is impossible to separate the artist from his art but would a biography of, for example, Oscar Wilde, treat the reader to a detailed critique of his works and those of other contemporaneous dramatists? Also this is a rather lazy piece of work in that it relies heavily on the journals of the subject. Despite it being apparent that Keith Vaughan was far from being the most objective witness regards his social and artistic merits.
