Of course, we're at a very primitive stage in the development of the novel with Smollett. If you want to get really primitive, try Defoe. I think Moll Flanders is the best. From that general period my favourite is Fielding's Joseph Andrews though - wonderful, incisive humour!

As it belongs to the gallery, it should still be there - providing the Council hasn't been forced to sell it to stay afloat! http://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-independent/20160312/281479275518501

I was last in Manchester Art Gallery a few weeks ago. Particularly liked this Francis Bacon, which I don't remember seeing before:

In the late seventies I taught a mature student who said he'd gone to school with Maxwell Davies in Salford. And in the same class were twin sisters called Runcie who were nieces of the Archbishop of Canterbury. No, this wasn't an Eton-type outfit - it was in a Further Education College in Warrington! The only other "went to school with" story I can recall was from a young woman I met at Leeds University in the 60s who said she'd sat next to Myra Hindley in primary school. According to my informant, she was an entirely normal child.
