So ...

I have a backlog of emails and blog comments to answer. It will be a few days. In the mean time, in response to a request by another writer, I've complied this list. This is from my email to him. I do not know how useful this is, but some of you may be interested:

Hi, 

You asked if I could add to your bibliography. I'm not certain if you will find these useful. While I've read them all, some of them are full of nonsense or are refutations. Some are outside the era we're writing about. But herewith is a list of theses and dissertations I've consulted while writing the current work:
