Mikluxo-Maklai

[Sibelan Forrester]

Dear SELANGovci,
A friend abroad ran into the term Mikluxo-Maklai (as a plural) in an
article and wanted to be sure she appreciated all its nuances before aiming
her rhetoric at the discussion.  As often happens with that sort of
catch-word or catch-name, I thought I had a good sense of who and what it
meant, but it all evaporated once I tried to convey it, and none of the
handy reference works I own even mention poor M-M.  If anyone out there can
give me a nice brief thumbnail sketch, I would be most grateful, and would
pass it along with full attribution.
Please reply to me privately at <SFORRES1 at swarthmore.edu>, unless you think
the list would be entertained by the information.

Thank you for your attention --
