Shining Knights
Sir: Having just finished Professor Knights' book Encounter 3, and having just read Peter Ackroyd's article in the 6 March issue of the Spectator, may I say I think Professor Knights knew exactly and precisely what he intended to do in writing and giving us such a provocative and rewarding group of essays. 1 did get the impression that he was 'old fashioned', but in the sense that he had a mature and ripe mind for what he was saying to us and that he knew how to put his ideas and opinions into language that is clear and convincing to those of us who read for instruction and pleasure. I think Dr Johnson would agree that the writing of Professor Knights contains no cant. I enjoyed the book so much that 1 ordered all of Professor Knights' books now in print.
