Sigmund Freud and W. B. Yeats are the two particularly influential authors this year, I believe - neither UK, but both life+70 jurisdictions. Arthur Rackham, Havelock Ellis and Ford Madox Ford are both interesting, though neither is particularly well-known now. -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
