Re Oxford Chair string ........
Seamus Perry (Fellow of Balliol College and Tutor in English,
& Lecturer in the English Faculty, University of Oxford) was interviewed
about this on Rad 4 and, I thought, managed to keep a perspective and not
get drawn into the brouhaha.
So, come all ye Oxford graduates and search out someone innovative!
FYI:
The procedure now is that graduates will be able to vote online, as well as
to cast their vote in person over a period of time.
Aspiring professors of poetry must be nominated by at least 12 Oxford
graduates by 5 May. If there is more than one contender, then graduates will
be able to vote for their favourite ...
Into the maelstrom,
Tilla
