I never met Emeljanow, although I took a course with Margaret Williams
(mentioned in the article) and I knew (although never spoke to) Robert
Quentin (he *may* have addressed a remark to me once). It’s an entertaining
obit, as well as giving an insight into the awfulness of academia. I
particularly like: "His eyes narrowed, and his head fixed me like a chook
marked for the Easter raffle."

Tenuous link to VW: No. 83 From her review of "The Cherry Orchard" in
"Chekhov: The Critical Heritage", EMELJANOW, Victor (ed.), Routledge & Kegan
Paul, 1981. (Quentin was particularly keen on Chekhov.)
