    Now, I had been a professor of Anglo-Saxon at oxford. Before this I was a student there, in a sense, I had come home when returning there as a professor. My academic publication record was sparse, but I fitted in perfectly in the education world. It was influential, when I gave one of my lectures, Beowulf, the Monsters and the Critics, my almost throwaway comments helped in understanding it. Apart from that I taught undergraduates, and I played an Important part and unexceptional part.
