Bibliography

It would be good to have the bibliography page filled in. Any volunteers? Michael Forde Cayley 12:40, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

I'd like to have a go at this. Jeffrey Side 15:34, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

No sinecure

I have changed the word "sinecure" to "post". Gill's biography asserts that it was not a sinecure. I don't know whether it is worth adding that both Shelley and Browning, associating his change of political views with his acceptance of the post, wrote poems which were simultaneously appreciative and condemnatory. Again, it might be mentioned that he never entirely went back on his early positive views of the French Revolution. But that might be giving too much weight to a certain aspect of his life and work. --Martin Wyatt 19:28, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
