One quiz at a time

To recap.

Looking for a book about wine, published in the fifties that is not on Derek's website.

I wrote earlier that the author knew Andre Simon from the Saintsbury club, however I am not sure if he was a member of the Saintsbury club but would have known Andre from 'the sette of odd volumes', which his brother parodied in one of his best known novels.

Alec Waugh.

In Praise of Wine &c..

I must have made it too easy, that or you're too sharp (and aware of my obsession with the Waughs). I have a fondness for the wine writers of the interwar years, which despite the publication date this book seems to sit with.

I've got one of the odd volumes odd volumes. It's tiny and odd; the Andre Simon one about wine in Shakespeare.

Over to Daniel...

Oh, because I was able to get it, it must have been too easy?

I see... Just for that, I'm going to apostrophise you.

All forgiven now? Or must I eulogise further;'Crowds flow across Waterloo Bridge (so many; death has undone so many).' How nice to have such a mastery of Eliot and of the visual arts.

And I was genuinely perplexed as to the correct apostrophe placement in that sentence.

"Someone from Somerset searched for you via Google. Click here to find out more.."
So I was right, you were researching me..... Flattering.

That gives me a clue for a question.

I once used lines from 'The Wasteland' in a film I made. Where did I film it?

Sorry; didn't mean to get weird.
You have now hit on one of my other hobby-horses; The Wasteland. I do hope you consulted Jesse Weston, the Golden bough and Eliot's letters before embarking on filming?

Not weird.

Lord.. I did read quite a lot; I forget what. Edmund Spenser of course.. but not so overly much of that 'bogus scholarship'.. as TSE called it...
Anyway.
Answer the question...

Academia.edu gives me surprisingly detailed 'analytics' telling me (usually) what town people who searched for me, and arrived at academia.edu, were in.. Someone recently searched for me and read a couple of my texts, who was using a computer in Southminster, outside Maldon in Essex. I looked it up. That's very remote.

Stay awake Derek. Read the posts.

How should I know? Nothing so pedestrian as a filmography for Mr Jewesbury; He does installations and bleeding visual essays.

Yugoslavia (or some part of the reordered map that was)

This is not the correct answer, nor is any place that was a component of this place the correct answer.
This film is not yet on my website.

Not filmed anywhere near Naish Priory. Though incredibly, some of the letters in East Coker are in the correct answer. But only some.

Loads of them about, lumps which have a local meaning. I live no more than 3 miles from where the fairies were last seen. Not by me, I go to Brighton for that sort of thing.

Stuck now because Gatehouse was my only other guess (from my knowledge of Galloway from 'the five red herrings')

Carlisle

Wigtown?
{knowing that Daniel is wetting himself at the thought that DRT has been suckered into his rouse that the location is on the southern flat bit of Scotland and even more entertained by Owen following the scent and not spotting that DRT is perpetuating a gag that lost its way long ago}

This is not a fact, it's a beautiful image. There must be a picture of it in this sale catalogue. (What would we do if there actually were?)

That Dreweatts photography catalogue is fascinating. I recommend a browse.
