Thanks for this, Matt. I think. Sort of. I'll add Greville to Mary
Sidney amd Oxford as the creator of Shakespeare. I might add that
nowadays once your college posts its curriculum that if, as in my
case this year, you're doing the Shakespeare course, you get some
mighty peculiar ads for books or even, in my case, a slim volume. But
even before such public posting, years ago when I was teaching my
fable and fantasy course I got an essay from someone showing that
Queen Victoria wrote the Alice books. Curiouser and curiouser. Off to
teach L's LL and will tell the students about Greville (and the
Greville kids, as we call them at Kalamazoo). By the way, decades ago
when I was on my honeymoon and we were visiting Warwick castle the
guide told us that Greville "walks" there. Maybe he reads this e-
list, too. Anne.
