Suffolk Book League

Just been to a meeting for the first time. The speaker was Starkey
and I couldn't resist.
Richard got an indirect mention as Starkey explained that More wrote
in Latin and tried to translate himself.
I asked him a question about online sources and he recommended
Fordham University (New York Jesuits). It may be useful some day. I
also mentioned THE STAFFORD LINE to him, sadly after official
questions.

Anyway, I have finished Johnson's Elizabeth I. This time, I
understand who Essex was genealogically, I knew which Earl of Rutland
was involved in the 1601 rebellion (5th, married to Sir Phillip
Sidney's daughter who was, I believe, Leicester's niece). Rutland and
Essex were minor Yorkist heirs - I enjoyed the book at least twice as
much as before and start the Huntingdon biography soon.

Is Starkey any nicer to people in 'real life' than he is on 'The
Moral Maze'? (I suppose he would be, wouldn't he, when he's there to
persuade people to buy his books.)
