Middleton!

Thomas Middleton is the man!

I just added him to my list of interests and thought, as a wheeze, I'd go visit the rest of you who list him.

And guess what? You're all of you brilliant!

So, if I've just friended you out of nowhere, blame Tom.

P.S. Hengist, King of Kent features political cynicism to die for, some very off-colour sex, a lot of murder, some ripe low comedy (and puritan-baiting) and winds up with the anti-heroine getting burned to death on stage. I'd love to see it acted.

Ah! The unexpected presence of a new person is explained.

He is indeed the man. Although we shall see how I feel about this next year when I've written a dissertation on him. I may be less enthused.

I wrote a dissertation about Sheridan le Fanu.

I don't think I've read a word of his since.
