On balance I agree with Bazza -- the literary figure should probably be an actual (and easily identifiable) writer rather than a figure from literature. But it seems a close call.
It is clear , though, that my earlier effort must be disqualified since, although the Agony Aunt is Tennyson, the problem in question is clearly one which already belonged to The Lady of Shalott -- and therefore not one of my own invention as the task requires.
Serve me right for having sweated blood without first reading the question carefully! It reminds me of being back at school!
