Talk:A Rake's Progress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
i reverted the (nicely done) list of pictures with the seemingly well informed descriptions. unavoidable since they were lifted wholesale from a website.
while researching a german version i found that while the text on [1] is well written, the content is dubious if not outright invention. especially the content for plate 2. is complete rubbish (it's not händel but Niccola Porpora, the director of the king's theatre on haymarket at the time, the list behind him is one of presents to farinelli, etc. no great loss, all said. --Snottily 02:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- I was sad to see the content go, but understand your reasons. It would be nice to have a companion to A Harlot's Progress. Can you translate your German version (very nice, by the way) into English, by any chance, or would you be interested in collaborating on one? I usually start with a machine translation, but that often produces odd results! -- ALoan (Talk) 02:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
