Yes, happily they came to me to contribute something to their volume! (I am writing something on Nair's beautiful -- but much maligned-- streaming/miniseries adaptation of "A Suitable Boy," something that of course came out after my book was published.)

I actually just came across your book a couple of weeks ago while looking for newer scholarship on canons & canonicity. Only a couple of chapters in, but it's been very helpful for what I'm thinking about. Congratulations on the prize from Narrative!

Glad you’re finding it helpful!

Agreed — something potentially quite powerful here, though it’s not quite there yet.

For my part I might wait for the next / updated version before shelling out any cash…

I might try that and give it another shot! Looking at the logs on my second query there was clearly something going wrong with respect to downloading files.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this! I modified your prompt for my own research question using the same browser.

Results were mixed (perhaps I should have tried improving my second prompt to make it more effective...). Some brief notes here:

Aha, got it. And thanks for the excerpt from the piece! (Your earlier links were not working for me & my library doesn't subscribe to that journal...)

The Waste Land is published in 1922 & I gather Dorothy Sayers' first Wimsey novel was published in 1923 (Whose Body?)... so are you saying she is appropriating Eliot's narrator for her character?

Or were there short stories in print earlier...?

(Is it tacky to like your post AND the post dissing Lady Chatterley's Lover?)
As with Pound I mostly prefer Lawrence pre-1920, Sons and Lovers especially. Are you also stanning for later Lawrence? I remember finding The Plumed Serpent unbearable, but I could go back to it on your recommendation...

Ezra Pound wrote a few really good poems early in his career and was, briefly (pre-fascism), a great editor & talent-finder.

But not actually a great poet.
