Fantastic biography that can't help being much more than a biography of England's life. In Givens's able hands, the story of England's life becomes a deep meditation on the trials and travails of the Mormon intellectual, depicted almost as a dramatic (Shakespearean?) tragedy. I suspect I'll be returning to this book again and again as I grapple with some of the same questions England did.
