Thanks for this useful link. I read the essay and enjoyed every word. My 1963 thesis is still relevant, I am relieved to report. It concluded, in fact, with one of the long quotes in this piece, referring to a"pitying snob" writing about him in the 1960s. That is exactly what I did! I'm trying to finish another manuscript based on articles I found in one of his scrapbooks, but am not sure how to deal with quotes. I notice in this article there are many quotes just included in quote marks. Is something not particularly aimed at a scholarly audience free to q uote without attribution?. My thesis was an academic production so is full of notes and exact reference.. Would be interested in any views on this point. Thanks again to Hal Bush for bringing this essay to our attention and to Hal Bush for sending a link which worked!
