Description: "In this study, Arline Wilson explores the man behind the myth, examining why Roscoe is claimed to personify, more than any other, the union of commerce and culture in Liverpool: the lawyer, banker and businessman who is credited with laying the foundations for his city's artistic, literary and social evolution."--Jacket.
