| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | <p>This was the text of my inaugural lecture, and the editors of <i>Ploutarchos</i> were kind enough to suggest to me that, given its Plutarchan emphasis, it might have interest to a wider public. They also, even more kindly, suggested it would be best in its original oral form, including the local pleasantries and some references - for instance to the party which followed - which are extremely occasion-specific. I hope that the informality of style will indeed convey something of the flavour of the occasion. It was also marked by a momentary failure of electricity half way through, plunging the audience of some 200 people into darkness. Plutarchans may take some malicious pleasure that this happened exactly on the word 'Nepos'.</p> |
