Unbiased description of his writing style edit

Presumably the description of Harwood's writing style as 'the worst of the florid and general 18th century prose style' is that of Alan Warner in 'A Short Guide to English Style', as that is the only source indicated for the article. If so, this view needs to be attributed to him, as at present it is stated as a matter of fact. The criticism would also make more sense if compared to other theological writing of the period, set in the context of Harwood's views, etc., and biographical expansion is needed. If I can find biographical details (shouldn't be too difficult for a DD of that period...) I will add them. Carminowe of Hendra (talk) 22:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
