That's some detailed detective work going on there, and I think you've been enjoying yourself quite a bit! Do I see a biography in the offing? Sign me up for a copy if so!
I've been de-cluttering, but have been wondering if 'Out of the Attic' is worth buying, since even our State Library doesn't have it. But it ain't cheap, and a first edition of FoTH might be a better use of the money. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The State Library does have the Cambridge Guide, and I remember that entry; I like your interpretation that Keith is simply wrong. That line always bothered me, but if the narrative is hanging out a sign saying 'he's being a total twit' at this point, which I missed, that makes me feel better about it.
As for Broster trying her hand at comedy novels, perhaps I should re-read a few of them with that in mind. The misadventures of Nugent Carew, for instance, which luzula has reminded me of; I simply wanted to shake the guy, but perhaps I was missing the point completely!
And as for Scot Peacock, that's someone else who clearly needs shaking. Whut.
But thank-you for this round-up. This is a trail of bread-crumbs indeed; not an easy author to research, but it must make the process of finding out all the more satisfying!
