[Milton-L] Milton and Michael Innes

[nick hay]

Dear Martin,
 
None that I know of - but I am not even aware of there being a book dedicated to Michael Innes. Of course his entire oeuvre is notorious for being laden with all kinds of literary references from the obvious (eg: Hamlet, Revenge) to the more or less obscure (eg: medieval Scots poetry in Lament for a Maker - not that this should be obscure but it is).
 
I will pose your question on the list for GA (Golden Age mysteries) enthusiasts and see if I get any response. The best web-page I know of dedicated to Innes is at....http://www.mysterylist.com/innes.htm (not that I concur with all the judgements regarding individual books) ; sadly Wyatt James who wrote it died a couple of years ago.
