I know some of the English people at Oxford. In particular, Will Poole 
and Richard Scholar are friends from New College. Will is now a tutorial 
fellow at New, Richard moved to Oriel. Last year they published 
/Thinking With Shakespeare/ which I was shown at A. D. Nuttall's 
memorial service. A. D. Nuttall was a notable Shakespeare academic. I've 
got a copy of their book here. It's a good read. Of course, it's 
available in all good college libraries. :-)

Will Poole is a charming, erudite, gentleman. I'm sure he would 
appreciate the resource.

I'll drop him a line; I'm heading that way again in a couple of weeks.

Best wishes,

John.
