  1. Is that Leavis's 'signature walk'?

  2. Yes, purposeful, but high minded.

  3. Nice. F.R. Leavis looks like a Roald Dahl character. Here are some cool photos of Tony Tanner and Thom Gunn.

  4. Great link. Especially good to see Thom Gunn - worth noting that Ted Hughes and (maybe) Karl Miller were also involved with that Downing College bunch who were all under Leavis's spell. As far as I know, Tony White had a very bizarre death from a short-circuiting street lamp.
