	§6. Alexander Smith. VI. Lesser Poets of the Middle and Later Nineteenth Century. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part ...
		Alexander Smith and Sydney Dobell are persons and poets of what we may call more substantive character than those whom we have been mentioning after Bailey.
		Alexander Smith, though the younger of the two, deserves, for more reasons than one, the earlier mention.
		Smith was accused of plagiarism from Tennyson himself and others; City Poems, his second book, containing some of his very best work, was a failure; and Edwin of Deira (1861), though rather better received than City Poems might, without much loss, have remained unwritten.

	Powells.com Interviews - Alexander McCall Smith

	Another whimsical series from Alexander McCall Smith
		In McCall Smith's rib-tickling trilogy (Portuguese Irregular Verbs, The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs, At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances), the irrepressible professor engages in a never-ending quest to gain the notoriety he believes he so richly deserves.
		Before the adventures of von Igelfeld were published commercially in the United Kingdom, however, McCall Smith had 500 copies printed privately, 200 of which Zimmermann purchased and passed along to his friends.
		McCall Smith's objects of mockery are surely too busy laughing at his portrayal of their foibles to feel much of a sting.

	H. Alexander Smith Papers \| Seeley G. Mudd Library
		The Papers of H. Alexander Smith include the Diary of H. Alexander Smith (1927-1959) and approximately 275 cartons of material.
		Early each morning, Smith would reflect upon the previous day's events, seek divine inspiration, and note the resultant "guidance.'' Although the Diary retained this quasi-religious character through the years, it quickly evolved into a commentary on the past day's happenings.
		Smith saved most of the material which came into his possession through the years, and one finds in the collection items ranging from the details of an automobile purchase in the 1920's to detailed, highly confidential memoranda of private conversations which took place during his senatorial career.

	The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith: Reviews
		Smith has once again succeeded brilliantly in constructing not only believable and engaging characters but also a vivid and particular sense of place.
		McCall Smith's assessments of fellow humans are piercing and profound.
		Unfortunately, Smith's subplots are more interesting than the main mystery, and Isabel tends to get bogged down in philosophical digressions, but the writing and characters propel the narrative forward.

	Portuguese Irregular Verbs, by Alexander McCall Smith
		Whether in a short story, a book for children or essays on sleep disorders or euthanasia, this voice is always clear and present, brimming with intelligence and humour and rooted in curiosity, one that elevates even the most innocuous interactions to both high comedy and art.
		Although McCall Smith's narrative gifts and splendid voice are on fine display in almost all of his published fiction, they might be best suited to the entertainingly ridiculous tales contained in these three volumes.
		And McCall Smith's future is busily happy, too: On Sunday, the bbc will air a documentary in which he returns to Botswana to revisit the inspirations for his tales and characters.

		McCall Smith, it turns out, was born in what is now Zimbabwe (then called Southern Rhodesia) and taught law at the University of Botswana, but those facts alone hardly explain his astounding ability to enter the soul of a woman as well as the soul of Africa.
		McCall Smith is writing a fifth Precious Ramotswe book, according to his publisher, and has started a new series featuring another lady detective, Isabel Dalhousie (Scottish father, American mother).
