Who will rise and who will fall? Will the Venerable Bede proclaim the history of the English church from the top of the Wheel? Will we wander with Melmoth? Quest with Parzival? Or faint a lot and hide letters with Lady Audley? It's time for another Classics Club Spin, and the Spin List is quite varied this time, from the plague to Barbara Pym.
