The Text, The Whole Text, and Nothing But The Text
Saturday 27 November 2021 No. 265 Free
Most of the Classic Novels were first presented to the reader either in three volumes
or in weekly instalments, so the reader was used to the idea of reading the
book in parts. We have borrowed this presentation so that you, dear
reader, can try the experience. It may be particularly salutary for those
who are a little awestruck by some of the longer novels...
We
are currently leaning towards amusing books, together with a spot of
melodrama, to help us to burrow our way to the end of the pandemic.
