Abstract

‘When I went up [to Oxford University], and this tutor fellow saw me about June [1927], and I was going up in October and he gave me a long list of books to read before I came up, and when I told him I had read so and so and so, he just didn't believe me. And he said, “Well where would you get these books?”, because I was this sort of working class extra-mural student you know. And I said, “Tredegar Workmen's Library”. Well that convinced him I couldn't [have].… But I had read them and I was able to tell him what was in them’. (Archie Lush).1
