A couple more quotes from my English literature notes. Wordsworth had some strong opinions about poetry. Okay, just joking, I imagine being one of the strongest promoters of Romantic literature isn't easy, especially after the age of Enlightenment.

This inky experiment didn't go well. I had to re-drop the ink into the breather hole a second time, and I only got a short window of color variation. Such a pity, I was hoping for a smoother transition.

Very powerful and inspiring quote I jotted down in-between my English Literature notes. The Edinburgh Review is an historical literary magazine, an authority on what the public was to read in the 18° and 19° centuries.

I would think the judge (and the prosecutor) would be especially condemned when the innocent is found guilty.

I would think the judge (and the prosecutor) would be especially condemned when the innocent is found guilty.

Unfortunately in those times the technique of detection was rudimental to put it mildly.

There was even a pseudo-science that developed a theory according to which criminality was genetic and it was a trait that showed up in the posture, and especially in the proportions of the cranium and the face.

Such convinctions made it very easy for the innocent to be found guilty. Also a person in prison was supposed to confess their sins to be awarded a more swift execution, so people made up horrible acts in order to appear as penitent as possible.

 

Anyway, I agree with you.

 

 

 

Here Mr. Godwin is talking about his Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams.

I don't remember the pen but the ink is Diamine Blue-Black from the standard line.

Kind words by Sir Walter Scott about Jane Austen's writing style. I love when my favourite authors speak highly of each other. : )

Thanks for the heads-up, Fred. I just saw the interview. I don't imagine any more of the big talk shows called his agent after that. I'd like to get into the wayback machine, head straight to 1942, and have Veronica Lake fawn over me the way she would William Saroyan 29 years later.
