Anny's website is one of the treasures of the Internet (as is your
list). The only trouble with it -- if you're reading, Anny -- is that
it's hard to find some things. Like the page of definitions of poetry.
I'd suggest making another section for things like that list, and this
list, and a clearer signpost to it on the main page.
Also reading "The Romantic Imagination" by CM Bowra. As you know, I tend
to like older critics, even forgotten ones. I like to know what people
were thinking. If I want to know what people are thinking today, I
alread have the world's foremost authority...myself!
If you decide to flesh out the list and need help, I'll volunteer.
