Fantastic site. I have already spent too long on it this afternoon. Which is your favourite cover? A thread in its own right I think. Mine is the one that covered Diana's death in 97.
http://www.strobes.uklinux.net/932/ That whole edition was such a perfect counterweight to the general media nonsense in Britain that week.
Don't go there, that is an understatement. Great resource for A-Level Language as well. If I had known this was available when teaching the Lang-Lit course I would have made ful use of it then. Never mind.Anyway, back to the mundane marking of coursework. But I think I shal leave the site on to go back to it when I've had enough.
