Subject: RE: Recommendations For Literature on Trad
Robyn, Aye - awareness of the authors potential biases, is an implicit aspect of any intelligent/critical reading.
For my own part, I have no complaint with authors who posit far-flung theories (Btw Marje, I think that IB was suggesting that both 'Where is St. George', and the 'Faber Book of Verse' are total pants...) so long as I at least know the sources. Then I can myself asses my own response to any decently illustrated and reasoned argument.
