He has done so much interesting stuff - makes me feel like a rank amateur.

That sounds interesting. I presume it'll become a book forthwith. That gives me encouragement: 1. for oldsters like me doing PhDs (although Drury is *much* older than me! ;-). 2. It'll be good for more information to be around about Rosaleen Norton, particularly pertinent considering the current brou-ha-ha over Bill Henson's photography, I mean in regards to Norton having had her artwork censored as well, back in the day. 3. And aren't there just 'wonderful things' [as said Howard Carter when he opened Tutankhaum's tomb] being looked at under the broad category of 'The Academic Study of Magic'.. Just so many wonderful things. ~Caroline Tully. http://necropolisnow.blogspot.com/
