Thomas Bulford's Essays on Life, Language & Love - Ian Burns - Bog

Bag om Thomas Bulford's Essays on Life, Language & Love

Readers may be aware that Thomas Bulford died recently (though not as recently as before), and that I had what I then regarded as the onerous honour of editing his lexicographical work. Following this, his son presented the Publisher with a box of scribblings that he said were his 'distinguished' father's. My impression was that they were, indeed, Thomas Bulford's (the senior). Firstly, they bore a striking resemblance to the 'essays' that the Publisher insisted on being incorporated in the English Companion as introductions to the various definitional categories. Secondly, and I say this with as much grace as I can, they, whilst being somewhat idiosyncratic in construction and questionable in logic, contained a number of insights into the human condition that were also occasionally present in the earlier volume. Accordingly, with less reluctance than before, I agreed to edit this material, and offer it to readers for their judgement. Editor
