My idea is to do a Barzun approach to BB, Fry and KC....a synthesis of a L'Homme and L'Oeuvre approach, general and meaningful. I love the period up to the beginning of WW II....the Oxbridge intellectual life of the 20s and 30s .I had a tangential relationship to these men and women. More about that later but it was aninherited treasure from my father that was never valued until now.
