Sung in verse by Lord Tennyson and William Morris, this immortal story is here told for the first time in modern prose.

The Autobiography of Judas Iscariot BY ALFRED TRESIDDER SHEPPARD Author of “The Rise of Ledgar Dunstan,” “The Quest of Ledgar Dunstan,” etc. _Cr. 8vo._ _7s. 6d. net._ This is a remarkable book. The author has attempted, in the form of an autobiography, to reconstruct the life of Judas Iscariot, following accurately such historic and traditional records as are available. It is an effort to present the character of the infamous betrayer as a man, jealous of his Master’s power and perfection, secretive, skeptical; but in the end convinced of his own extreme unworthiness in contrast with the Christ. It is a work revealing unusual psychological insight, and, in its way, a notable contribution to Biblical criticism.
