Hi Jim
Perhaps one of these days we'll get round to starting our own thread instead of hijacking other people's.

I have everything in HUSTVEDT annotated and all of his remarks on Buchan are derivative and paraphrased from the likes of Walker etc.
He is just plain wrong when he says Child eased off on Buchan. I have just spent weeks annotating all of Child's comments on Buchan and he saves his best for last. See Vol 5 p182.

Jamie Rankin had nothing to do with Buchan's publications. He didn't meet Rankin until after all his published works were prepared for the press. Rankin only contributed to Secret Songs and the later BL manuscript as Hustvedt and Walker rightly say. What the hell Rankin has to do with broadsides I don't know.

I'll get back to you on the Child broadsides question. I'm preparing you a list which is already sizeable and I haven't yet got onto the more obvious stuff in Vol 5.
