Robert Tracy describes him as a "displaced God of the Festivity, with a vigorous and manly [!] disregard for forms and a hearty taste for pleasures, the pleasures of the table and of the field" (273-74). For "manly" disregard" see Kincaid, 243-44 (on the "moral stupidity" of the Dean). See also David Skilton's introduction to Is He Popenjoy?, xii-xv.
