"Goodman has put together a fascinating portrait of an indomitable Victorian who deserves to be better understood and celebrated." - Daily Mail'Haldane was an exemplary Victorian . . . Like many contemporary biographies, Martin Goodman's work is literary and intimate. At times, Haldane could easily have been one of Dr Jekyll's colleagues in Stevenson's classic novella.
