ANAGRAMS!
Continuing the tradition set in earlier editions of Assemblage (aka "flogging a dead horse"), the Fun Pages are pleased to include an intriguing set of anagrams compiled by Bob Hamilton. This time you have an opportunity to look at those reading lists and bibliographies in a new light. Who knows, you can almost certainly improve on these and may even be able to match some of the libellous or obscene (or both) ones that, regretfully, could not be included. Good luck.
Notes:-
1. All titles are by Sheffield academics and are listed in Star or the Department Research Report 1996-98 (or both)
2. In some cases only the main part of the title has been used (I have a life too).
3. One foreign language title has been used (how much b***** help do you need!), any
non-QWERTY letters were anglicised.
4. These are simply linguistically plausible arrangements of letters, not, absolutely and positively not, no way, critiques of the pieces or their authors.
5. Correspondence pertaining to these anagrams will be deemed the product of a diseased mind (and
I should know).
