Thank you

First of all, a big thank you to those who've told me lately how much they enjoy reading this blog. Your appreciation is much appreciated!

Yesterday was Ruskin day, as Thursday usually is for me. So I went off to Lancaster University to get my head down into some books and to try to get my mind around deconstruction.

This is a tool of literary criticism which we three MA students have to use to get to grips with a poem by Andrew Marvel called A Dialogue Between the Soul and Body.

The afternoon seminar was taken by Gill Cockram who talked about Ruskin and Socialism. She made particular mention of Frederic Harrison and Comte.

The place was packed out with the great and the good and they had one of the best discussions I have ever heard there.

It's a pity that the last one of this academic year takes place next week.
