| Notes |
The second book, consisting of 20 short dialogues intended to wittily illustrate vocabulary and conversation, was excerpted and edited by Jack Lindsay who then published it under the title 'The Parliament of Pratlers, a series of Elizabethan dialogues and monologues illustrating daily life and the conduct of a gentleman on the grand tour ...' (1928). This publication and Lindsay's introduction to it stimulated a number of scholarly articles on Eliot's work. More recently see Carla Mazzio, The Inarticulate Renaissance: Language Trouble in an Age of Eloquence (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2009), 156–8 and 166–7. |
