My wife heard B.T. on the radio a bit more than a year ago and we've became fans. <br />Patterns of change in anthropomorphism would certainly be an interesting topic to explore in a dissertation. For my dissertation I'm studying literature of crime and punishment in the colonial and early republican periods.
