It seems ...Quite a number of stand-out biographies. It seems to me you share my (and Dr Johnson's love of these). I've read good reviews of the books on Garnett, Bishop (and I've read her poetry), Carlyle. I'd love to read the biography of Carlyle and have Veever on a TBR pile.

Wordsworth avoided telling us about his real life development, was to me repetitive and didn't seem to grasp how privileged he was. What a rich year!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979942382683140531noreply@blogger.com
