Wace (251) Lolita

Wace (c. 1115 – c. 1183) was an Anglo-Norman poet, who was born in Jersey (a British Crown Dependancy of the coast of Normandy), and brought up in mainland Normandy (he tells us in the Roman de Rou that he was taken as a child to Caen), ending his career as Canon of Bayeux.

Wace and Elphinstone are two towns in the novel that are realtively close to eachother, distance-wise.
