...Minister Robert Walpole, author of the classic gothic, Castle of Otranto, and foremost letter writer of his time (1717-97). For 44 years, the Walpole factory has churned out 39 of a prospective 48 fat volumes of Walpole's correspondence. A massive index, now under way, may alone fill six more volumes. The whole set is, in Librarian Martz's words, "the ultimate in annotation, excellence and accuracy...
...spring after all, when Crimson editors wax poetical (or Disneyish anyway) over budding flowers and young love and billing Birds and buzzing bees and I dare say that this album will fill the AM bands all this summer and midnight FM specials for the more snobbish of us rock-audiences all the next year when WRKO and the like have worn out their copies of the record.

With Schubert, however, it seems an acceptable approach. Aside from his school teaching and boozy sessions in various Viennese inns, the composer had almost no life at all apart from...
...cannot make the same trick work twice. His style is exactly the same as in Love Story, but the sequel has neither the wit nor the brevity that made Love Story the dubious achievement that it was. Oliver's life as a widower simply is not interesting enough to fill that many pages. Perhaps the only encouraging thing about Oliver's Story is that one can slog though it in about three hours...
