They asked Nick Mount (English Department UoT) who has fallen out of favour recently and he replied Robertson Davies. That shocked me but he went on to say that the current generation find his writing old fashioned and he wrote old fashioned even for his time. I loved his writing and it was because of that style. I guess the new generation doesn't agree.
