A further thank you Henry for your excellent dissertation with which I entirely agree.
Robert, it is horse racing to set poets up against each other. I love Larkin but I could not love Larkin so much loved I not Dylan too.
Oliver, your Schubert example says it in a nutshell.
The reason all that "death of the author" stuff gives me the grims is because it is in the "voice" of the author that the message lies.
