anthonyh,

Yes, good to chat again. Gosh, I had no idea you were a Cam punter. If I could find it, I'd post a photo of my 1937 Riley on the bridge behind Trinity- Wren Library in the background.

Ah, good ol' Sam Johnson. Now there's an inspiration for all of us to keep at our work! To do the dictionary and the Shakespeare would have been enough, but there's all the rest and meanwhile he had a lot of troubles in his life. - Blake too in those ways. And who wouldn't have thought themselves a success to have a Boswell,..

Pope I know only from Rape of the Lock , but I would have loved to be a member of the Scriblerius Club! In your dissertation, were you addressing Pope's oddly variable reputation or literary matters?

Are you teaching, writing these days?

Cheers,

Bambi B
