Charles Percy Snow (Baron Snow of Leicester) was educated as a chemist and physicist at the
universities of Leicester and Cambridge. After scientific research he turned to administration and later
held many important public posts. His novel sequence Strangers and Brothers spans 30 years - more
years in the life of its narrator, Lewis Eliot, barrister. Snow describes the rarefied worlds of
academia, Cambridge, the Jewish community and Westminster. He also wrote several critical works
including a biography of Trollope. |
