“Set Down in Malice: A Book of Reminiscences” by Gerard Cumberland is an important addition in literary history that was almost lost with time. The text is made up of thoughts from famous writers from George Bernard Shaw to Dixon Scott, actors such as Janet Achurch, and musicians like John Coates, and with plenty of commentary from the author himself. Indeed, anyone who considers themself to be an intellectual in any of the humanities fields would find themselves fortunate to be able to read such a compelling and witty work.
