A characteristically shallow, ignorant, ahistorical, Whiggish observation on the part of Mr T. The "tenth century -- or the thirteenth?" As if the two had any more in common than the seventeenth century and the twentieth.

As always, there is nothing more quickly dated than modernity. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
