Actually, that sequence by Christopher Middleton on which I commented
recently, one way or the other, can be found complete in PN REVIEW Vol 25
No 6 July 1999.
While sitting in the University Library noticing that, I read a review by
James Keery of Etruscan Reader I in the same issue, during which he said,
speaking of Jeremy Prynne's way of writing,:
"...in Cambridge, [...] it simply isn't 'hip' to write in any other mode."
which is a bit like saying that everyone in Australia feels obliged to
write like Les Murray. Or you just can't get anywhere in British politics
if you don't go to Tony Blair's tailor.
Having had enough of these flauntings of unfounded opinions, I turned to a
different issue (vol 25 No.4) in which I found a quite long article by the
same Keery on the poetry of Peter Robinson. It begins,
"They heyday of the Cambridge school was in the mid-1970s."
So we're not only enrolled into a school in which only the headmaster
exists, but it's all over now anyway, sorry chaps.
