Untitled[edit]

It would be good if someone qualified to speak of his poetry could do so.

In Search of Lost Time?[edit]

Nothing is mentioned about In Search of Lost Time. Enright revised the Moncrieff text of In Search of Lost Time. It is one of the most celebrated translations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.182.131.41 (talk) 02:22, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is an important omission and should be corrected. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:50, 17 November 2023 (UTC).[reply]

I agree with interest with the first comment. Enright's encounters with the Black Country as a WEA lecturer in the fifties are a recurring element in his poems, and his straight-faced tall-story narratives (even Apocalypse and The Quagga) are often characteristic of Black Country story-telling and, even sometimes, vocal emphasis. Couldn't be further from 'Fiction and the Reading Public' let alone 'Royal Leamington Spa'93.96.231.234 (talk) 12:04, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Added correction to the above: In fact much of Enright's childhood and youth seem to have been in the Black Country, not Leamington. (This biographical titbit can be deduced from the online obits of 2002. As can his marriage and the name of his wife. There are even some images which are googlable).93.96.231.234 (talk) 12:44, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
