"The Queen Is Dead is one of those classic albums on which even the minor tracks take on a kind of epic grandeur."

"Undoubtedly the Smiths’ masterpiece (although all four band members expressed a preference for their swansong, Strangeways Here We Come, for the title of ‘best’), this 1986 album contains ten tracks ranging from the classic pop single (‘Bigmouth Strikes Again’), the slow balladesque album track (‘I Know It’s Over’), the uptempo bit of fluff (‘Frankly, Mr Shankly’, ‘Vicar in a Tutu’), and the downright ‘filler’ number (‘Never Had No One Ever’, ‘Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others’)."

"The focus of this week’s column is an Elizabethan poet who wrote, among other things, a sequence of love sonnets in the early 1590s and a work often referred to, in short, as Richard III. This writer was born in the Tudor era but actually died, in the 1610s, in the Jacobean period. His name was Giles Fletcher, the Elder (c. 1548-1611)."

"Some words arise purely by accident. Indeed, even names are sometimes formed because of a mistake: the most famous example is probably Imogen, which is thought to have come about because the Celtic name Innogen (meaning ‘maiden’ or ‘daughter’) was misread as ‘Imogen’."
