Reasons why John Roe is awesome

Dr John Roe is my tutor this term for Elizabethan Love Poetry. I also had him a couple of terms ago for modern British and Irish literature (which was a bit misleading because the authors we studied were 96% Irish).

He is the archetpyal English professor, the kind of person you imagine when you think of an English expert. I was happily reading my edition of Shakespeare's poems the other day only to find that he'd edited it and done the introduction. And there's me in seminars blithering on about how the rhymes sound pretty and other such nonsense. Madness.

As usual click on the pictures for a clearer image because I am clearly lacking in basic computer skills.
