LATE IN 1952 I ARRIVED IN LONDON FROM AUSTRALIA. I WAS to spend ten happy years in England, a period from which can be traced many of the influences which still matter to me. Nonetheless, the thirteen years before 1952 had provided a good deal of intellectual luggage which served me in various ways in England, and which still has relevance; so it is probably best to start with that earlier period in Australia, and explain how I got some of the ideas with which I came ashore at Tilbury.
