Re: James Bowman’s
Brush Up
Your Shakespeare

/p>
How can someone who is clearly as clever as Mr. James Bowman be so stupid as to believe what he reads in the papers? A couple of chance remarks to an opportunistic reporter do not constitute anything to do with my opinion, nor were the quotations he cites provided by me. They are indeed fine bits of verse, for a collection of reasons that seem well beyond Mr. Bowman.
p>How could someone who purports to have some interest in honor be so dishonorable and downright shabby as to use a journalistic misrepresentation to launch an attack on someone whose opinions he has made no effort to understand. This smacks of the high moral ground of the grandstanding hack, rather than the honorable man. br> — Dominic Dromgoole /p> p> James Bowman replies: br> If, indeed, I have misunderstood Mr. Dromgoole’s views, I unreservedly apologize, although as he himself notes, such misrepresentation of those views as there may be is not attributable to me but to the Times
