Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while - I'd forgotten the password.
Anyway, why isn't there any more than a grudging little mention under "other poets" of Robert Louis Stevenson on the site ? It's easy enough to find information (try Wikipedia for starters) on his death and burial (v. moving), and also a picture of the grave (a google image search for "Stevenson grave Samoa" - without inverted commas - will do the trick). Can this please be put right immediately?

Hi there Keith,
And while I'm on about omissions, how about hymnodists ? (If there's a danger of the site getting swamped by them, it could be limited only to those in Hymns A & M, or by brutal diktat - "Sorry, not part of the canon".) I'm thinking of people like Bishop Heber (of Holy, Holy, Holy ! ) who died and is buried in India, and Henry Lyte (of Abide with Me) who lies in the south of France. Are they still deemed personae non gratae ?
