(DUPLICATE MESSAGE: FIRST ONE SEEMS TO HAVE GOT
LOST IN MY TERMINAL, BUT YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED IT!)The Fool is not just a 'fool and an outcast', and I
refer you to Enid Welsford's wonderful monograph,
The Fool, (written in 1928 or thereabouts. This is
the classic work on the subject and it is still in
print (published in Britain by Faber and Faber).I have done extensive work on this subject -
particularly the Fool in Lear, and I would be happy
to engage in further dialogue about this if I have
time later. (At present I am preparing lesson plans
for teaching next week and am a bit pushed for
time, but if you'd like to frame a more specific
question, I'd be happy to try and steer you in the
right direction: I'm working at this computer
terminal until 2 o'clock - British Time - and then
I will not return to the terminal until tomorrow
(Saturday 12th April) or next week.
