We are grateful to Fred Blick (QM 1938-47) for a number of interesting and erudite essays. He has published many essays over the past twenty years; not only ‘Wordsworth’s Dark Joke in ‘The Barberry-Tree’’ in Romanticism Journal in October 2014 and ‘Flashing Flowers and Wordsworth’s ‘Daffodils’’ in the Wordsworth Circle Journal in 2017, but also innovative essays in peer-reviewed academic journals worldwide on the subjects of the sonnets of William Shakespeare and of Edmund Spenser.

He also sent some pictures of his last year at School in 1947 and above are the Prefects of that year. Current members of the School will recognise the name Denison, later His Honour Judge Neil Denison, for whom the Denison Debating Society in School now is named.
