I opened this Bio - as I was hoping to find some information on Richard Head at Wikipedia. So here at least the list of some of his works which made me ask for more. If nothing happens I might have later this September a chance to complete this article, when I will do some research at a bigger library. Sorry for the mess of the provisional hint at materials. Head is an important figure for all who work on the 17th century European novel. His English Rogue became the first English satirical romance to be translated into a continental language. Germans read it as Der Simplicianische Jan Perus after they had just read their own Abentheuerlicher Simplicissimus by Grimmelshausen (wich again modern scholars will read as one of the most important novels ever written. So do not delete Head. --Olaf Simons 10:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
