Dear Roger,
Many thanks for thinking of me. I’d love to if I could, but I’m no longer qualified to contribute to these topics. Since finishing the metaphor and Henriad projects, I’ve been so deeply mired in studies of Plato and something I call misanthropology that I’ve run out of steam.
The question remains: is it possible to run out of steam while sinking into the mud?
Thanks again and be well,
Harry

>> REVISED CALL FOR PAPERS. In view of the "Dramatising Penshurst" conference at Penshurst in June of this year, the International Sidney Society has revised its call for papers. It invites proposals or complete papers for two sessions at the 2014 Sixteenth Century Society Conference in New Orleans on October 16-19. The first session’s theme will be “Penshurst and the Sidneys: literature and history”, (a theme that allows for papers on many specific topics: not only literature and history but architecture, building, gardens and private libraries). The second session’s theme will be “Wilton’s Countess: Poetry and Patronage”, and will look at the relation between Mary Sidney’s patronage of poets and her own work. Diversity is encouraged. Contributions should be sent to Roger Kuin at [log in to unmask] before March 15 at the very latest: earlier ones will be received with even greater benevolence.
