User:Antiquary

Hello! I registered at Wikiquote in August 2006, and chose this name because The Antiquary by Sir Walter Scott is one of my favourite novels, and because it's an accurate self-description. I've done a little work on English Wikipedia and various of the foreign-language Wikiquotes, but my main presence on Wikimedia projects has always been here, especially on our literary pages. Here's a selection from the complete list of pages I've created: Abbé Prévost      Alan Ayckbourn      Alan Bennett      Alan Sillitoe      Alessandro Manzoni      Alfred the Great      Alphonse Daudet      Anthony Ashley Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury      Anthony Powell      Antonín Dvořák      Arnold Wesker      Arthur Sullivan      Beatrix Potter      Bede      Benvenuto Cellini      Beowulf      Bernard Mandeville      Bernard of Clairvaux      Beryl Bainbridge      Charlemagne      Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve      Chrétien de Troyes      Clergy      Clifford Odets      Conor Cruise O'Brien      Coriolanus      C.
