That's probably true about Mansfield keeping at least one publication afloat. I know less about her biography than I ought, but it wouldn't surprise me. It's easy for us now to look back in wonder at some of these now-scanned publications without thinking about the financial practicalities of creating all that art and paying the authors at the time!
Yes, for all the modernists' advanced thinking, sometimes they could be fairly traditional in their tastes and outlook!
One note for section 9:
outro – heard ‘end of part 8’
PS Thanks for the link. Those designs are pretty cool, even if they are impractical.

Section 10 is PL OK. For future reference (it doesn’t really matter here, but if you’re called upon to do Shakespeare you might get picked up on it), this OED-based site gives the stress on the second syllable:

No worries about section 9, just do it at some point in the future!

Chimera - that's interesting, because the Oxford pronunciation was the one I originally used. But I double-checked it online and then corrected it to this. It must be an Oxford and Cambridge thing!

Here comes Part 11, ready for PL! The only author who has a good review also has an article earlier in the magazine 
. But Goslings does sound like it might be an interesting book.

Part 9 is also corrected and uploaded.

Part 9 is spot PL OK. One note for part 11:
3.50-3.57, central para p 124, repetition
...a haunting face, and a mass of dark hair and a mass of dark hair encircling it on the pillow like a nimbus.”
That difference between the two online pronunciation guides is unexpected! I've been tending to use the Cambridge one less frequently because I went through a long spell of not finding the words I was looking for in the database, and finding, relatively speaking, greater availability in the Oxford. I'm not trying to complain, because they're both free resources!

It seems that some names from Greek mythology have been anglicised, whereas others haven't. I don't know Greek so difficult to say, but my guess is that the difference is between anglicised (Oxford) and as it would be pronounced in Greek (Cambridge)?

That seems like a very reasonable guess. Funnily enough, this came up with the couple of Latin poem titles in the Elinor Jenkins project. I gratefully accepted any and all anglicised help the Oxford site could give, but even then 'Finis' still has THREE possible RP pronunciations. Very fortunately my wonderful DPL has studied Latin, but prepping was a little bit like trying to pin the tail on the donkey!

According to my Latin dictionary - in Latin the first 'i' is long, so 'feenis'. But in English, I'd say 'finis', because in general anglicized Latin doesn't bother with long vowels (Librivox, which would be Leebrivox in Latin, being a case in point). I suppose mostly we'd want to use English pronunciations, but not if, for example, a character is speaking Latin?

Section 12 is PL OK.
I used 'feenis' in that solo, just as I changed 'dulce et decorum'. I don't have a Latin dictionary, but I was willing to defer to a DPL who does and who knows how to use it! In that case I was blessed with a great DPL and was able to trade up to a more accurate Latin pronunciation, but ultimately it's a case of just doing the best I can. I'm sure some of the other solos I've done with languages much harder to track down than Latin have had imperfect pronunciations, but I guess it's a flawed audio version or none at all!
If I had been PLing that project instead of narrating, I would have been happy to accept any of the anglicised pronunciations the OED site provided, *especially* in the absence of biographical information about the author and whether or not she'd studied Latin. When it comes to classical references, I'm really only as good a narrator/DPL as the resources I can find online...
On the subject (roughly), here is more grist to the mill of stray words popping up in our respective projects. This one was in the section you've just uploaded. I had understood the different pronunciations of this word to be down to US-UK differences, but perhaps there’s more to it than that.

Section 14 is PL OK. One note for section 13:
9.48-9.49, last line p 137, omission [sorry, I can’t get the accents]
Mais a quoi bon? [Mais a quoi bon?]

Thanks! Part 13 corrected and the last three sections ready for PL!

Hi Anne,
I have recordings of the first two poems from this collection. Do you think it would be okay to put them up as a standalone collection - say 'Two Ballads by John Stagg'. I did these a couple of years ago. I was going to finish the whole book, but didn't and I doubt I ever will. These are the main poems in the book and they are around 50 and 40 minutes long - so around 90 minutes altogether.

All the best,
