I am planning to continue the re-read of both, which is partly what inspired the use of "golden age style" to describe what I was looking for. In Marsh's case, the lasting legacy my teen reading of her books gave was a new perspective on Shakespeare - "light thickens" is still one of my favorite passages from literature, thanks to the Dame with the unusual name.
