Ah, I see.
Yes, I came up with a few refs along those lines when I was hunting for
material for my MA dissertation. I had to leave it alone then because,
alas, my academic eyes were too big for my belly. But, I shall no doubt
connive to make it relevant in my thesis and get back onto it. I
particularly loved the Declaration of Regret of the Salem Jurors - sent
shivers down my spine - so poignant. Never did find a quotable academic
reference for the source of that, but I only got two months to write it all
so I never got back to it.
Jane.
