In case any readers want to go beyond the reading list in the Appendix of First Safari, (pp. 226-230), here are some more references by page number. In many cases with regards to biographical material in particular, First Safari cannibalises and develops arguments in the Van Riebeeck Society edition and the Brenthurst volume. In general, I have not added annotations for references that can easily be traced on the Internet. In others (like the T S Eliot reference on p.9), readers will have to trust my memory…
