Chosen as one of the 50 Greatest Villains in Literature, Steerpike emerges in this assessment of the role of those characters evil enough to be granted the dubious honour, not so much as villain in some readers' opinion, rather as anti-hero par excellence. The definitive angry young man perhaps, but far more menacing, dangerous, determined and murderous, than any character from a 1950's play.

Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with the energy and detail which Sebastian used to keep us up-to-date with any news of his father's work, particularly during the centenary year, 2011. His sudden death has been a great shock to his friends and family but the promotion of his father's work will continue under the guidance of his brother and sister, Fabian and Clare. I worked with Sebastian on the blog and will continue to add details of events and new publications as well as any other news when it becomes available. Alison Eldred

A wonderful character. You helped me get a copy of this picture many years ago.
