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.
