I can loan you a compilation if you feel you’re missing out. You can see how it fed so many later stereotypes. Though as you’ve already observed its intertextual place, you probably have enough of the measure of it - it’s not going to get any more relevant!
I think that's one of my auntie Toinette's books there - she edited Kavanagh's Collected Poems iirc
Or maybe Selected?
No, nvm that's not hers. Ignore me!
I was just about to go back to the book shelf and check!
Pay no attention to my posts!

*escapes*
She lectured me in college!
Oh no, was she horrible to you?
No! She wasn't the warmest fluffiest lecturer but I never had any issue with her! I don't think I was in any of her tutorials so I didn't have a chance to get on the wrong side of her.
Phew! She was an excellent auntie and sister to my mum but warm and fluffy wouldn't have been a big thing for her!!
Very smart lady, passionate and knowledgeable about her subject.
😊❤️
What year (if not too personal)? In case we were there around the same time…
1992-1996.
We *just* missed each other - and you are younger than me by about 4 years 😂
I was there from 1998–2002. Not studying English though
I’m going to assume you were a mature student and not that I’m crumblingly older than you 😂 What did you study?
I was 19 in first year, very mature! Law!
Nice to be younger than someone,it's happening less often 😂
Yes, I feel my brain has sufficient Biggles to be getting on with.
