Subject: Norse Mythology
Can anyone suggest a good text on Norse Mythology? I've begun
researching 19th C. poets and mythology, and I could really
use the resource.
I apologize if you have already received a similar request. My
keyboard has a mind of its own.
thank you

Subject: Spanish text analysis program
I am looking for a Spanish text analysis program which does concordances,
word lists etc. more or less like TACT. Does anyone know whether such a
program exists and where I could get hold of it? I would prefer a pro-
gram running under Windows, but am interested, too, in programs running
under DOS.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Subject: PHI/TLG cdrom software
I wrote to Mr. Burckhardt Meissner who, supposedly, wrote a program to
manage TLG and PHI cdroms and to do +stylistic analyses;.
I got his address (snail mail address) from the TLG newsletter, wrote to him
at that address, but got no answer. Does someone know if he changed his
address, or anything else?
Many thanks.
If possbile CC: directly to me your answer.

Subject: One-man Play
I am at the final stages of a Ph D program at King's College, London. I
should be gratefulfor any information on history/characteristics of the
One-man play.
I have not found it as a term of reference.
My interest is primarily in any 19th cent. examples.
The closest I have come is the "Monodrama", which was a mixture of panto.,
ballet, and monologue, popular in France during the ancient regime. By
the time it entered England in the late 18th cent.it had turned into what
we would recognize as a one-man show (there were instances of music and
non-speaking parts). I have come across plays by Sayers and Wharton around
the 1800s, and "Maud", of course, is subtitled "a monodrama".
I have traced it farther back to the Greek practice of sasoriae (sp?),
epistolary monologues (Ovid), and death-bed monologues.
If anyone can add to this, help, or direct me in any manner, I should be
most anxious to return the favour. Thank you.
