1. Liverpool; the tutor who was annoyed at my facile comment that an extract from Thomas Hardy expressed the 'same old transience' idea. "It's not just the same old transience!"
Fair enough
2. Keele: the tutor (Ian Bell) who sneered at my 'onanistic proclivities'. I was responding to a poem and had been over-enthusiastic about images, probaly in a gushing way.
An academic put-down.
They weren't too friendly at Keele, with the exception of Mark Jancovich, who is a great bloke. Richard Godden was ok.
I felt insecure because I was severely under-read in critical theory and Marxism.
