"Betweenity"

Posted by James Briggs on May 27, 2000

David Harrison, Editor of a section of our local evening paper sent me the following:

"Arnolfini in Bristol has an exhibition coming up called From Here to Betweenity. They say betweenity was a word coined by Horace Walpole in 1760
and is meant to "evoke the twilight between documentation and dramatisation"
- whatever that means!"

Any thoughts?!
