Hi Paula,
Your info about 'La BD...' is very interesting, though I'm getting confused.

I've got Volume II of Keat's collected letters here (1958), and the poem written in the 21 April 1819 section of the long letter to his brother George, is the 'knight at arms' version - which also has a few other differences compared to the copy Michael gave us. The Editor of the 'Letters' (Rollins) in his footnote about the poem, suggests that someone else [a friend?] 'Jeffrey' [surname?] had a copy of the '"wretched wight" version of the poem' and Rollins seems to suggest that Keats must have sent this new version to his brother after 3 May 1819.

However ... I've now realised that, in his footnote, the book that Rollins is referring to for this information [(see KC, II, 120)]is Life of John Keats by Brown, Keats's friend. So ... is he a reliable narrator/biographer/witness? Did he, or someone else, tamper... or did Keats himself make the changes? I think we need to track down a tame Keats scholar. Meanwhile, I'm reading through the 'Letters' when I get chance; they are incredible.

Please remind me to ask you about your Lifelong Learning Course. I tried to find out what I needed to do, to be eligible to teach, but could not get a definitive answer, or find out where to do courses.
