      <div type="chapter" label="Margaret Dilks was secretary to the XII Book Club from 1940 to 1970. It is inferred from this, and from the handwriting, that she was the author of this set of minutes.&#10;">
        <p>
          <ptr target="ukred-30422">"Meeting held at 7, Marlborough Avenue. 15th Jan, 1944
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A. G. Joselin in the chair. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
2. The minutes of the last meeting were read and signed &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
5. Howard Smith opened the evening on Shelley with a biographical sketch. [...] 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
6. We adjourned for refreshment[.] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
7. F. E. Pollard read “Ode to the West Wind” &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
8. Margaret Dilks gave brief appreciation of Shelley’s poetry. This started a general 
discussion in which nearly all took part &amp;mdash; whether he influenced or was influenced by 
his contempor[ar]ies , &amp; what effect he had, if any, on future poets. On these 
questions opinion varied, but all agreed with F. E. Pollard that Shelley’s verse is 
supremely ‘poetical’. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
9. To illustrate Shelley’s passion for liberty and reform Bruce Dilks read from “The 
Masque of Anarchy” which was inspired by the Peterloo Massacre in 1819. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
10. Rosamund Wallis read some stanzas from “Adonais”. F. E. Pollard read a short 
poem entitled “A Lament”[.] Thus, our thoughts being with the departed, the meeting 
ended on a lighter note. One member quoted a touching little verse from the 
Berkshire Chronicle In Memoriam notices, which another capped by some lines written 
by a school-boy on the relative merits of perpetual roasting and eternal hymn-singing. 
Lines which gained the boy a severe reprimand from his head-master, and a ‘Fiver’ 
from his father. &lt;br/&gt;
