Quote:Or was EAP British?
Nope, he was American...born in Boston and educated in Richmond and Charlottesville, VA (University of Virginia - his dorm room was #13!!) Then he lived in Baltimore, where he wrote The Raven. Baltimore claims him as theirs. They've even named their football team The Ravens :)
I think *that* Great Library has books written in English, whether it's the Queen's English doesn't really matter, I believe. There are other libraries for other languages mentioned in LIAGB or WOLP, iirc.
Quote:And what about the Western in SR?
Written by Hungarians eh? Well, most of us know of a certain Englishwoman who writes westerns....don't we, Skiffle! (check the credits page...a certain G.F. Taylor is mentioned!)
