Great Regulars: All this means that when two Australian friends

of mine contacted me a few years ago and said Jane Campion was trying to get hold of me, I felt an odd mixture of surprise and pleasure (my affection for her work had already made me think of her as a sort-of friend). All was revealed when she rang a few days later: she'd been reading my biography of Keats and wanted to make a film about him. Could we meet the next time she was in London? She needed – she said this laughing – to make sure that she knew what he meant by "negative capability".
