Letter from Laura Jackson to Roderick Cave, 1970-08-04

"Since we have come this far in speaking of Mr. Ford, I find it not out of order to speak more on my and your encounter with him."

"Since you are going to have the little book of poems, I take special pains to tell you that the case is not of Faber's 'brinng back' some of my poetic work into print again but of my allowing these poems to be reproduced."

"He has plundered my thought, my very writings, pillaged in my poems, all this to an extent not comprehended (a person who is preparing for a study of all my writings has begun to comprehend what has been going on."

"And this method, a method of textual analysis, taken from mr. Empson, was the basis of what was pretentiously called The New Criticism."
