Completely stuck with the bottom half so very few crossing letters:

16d Note line conveyed by funny Geordie poet (9) sorry no letters
29a New curate taking religious education in Victor's work? (8)
possibly an anagram of curate + re or ri?
30a Reading can put ideas in apoet's mind for one! (6)

11a Noble with yen for Augusta's behind! (5) B?R?N baron would be too simple an answer for noble.....possibly Byron? (he had a half sister augusta??)

[Mamyalynne]

16 Coleridge

C L + anag Geordie

[sandyRoe]

And it'd said he had a yen for her.

[JJ109]

Creature (Victor Frankensteinj)

[scorpiojo]

29 Createur?

[scorpiojo]

Oops

[Mamyalynne]

11 yes, Byron

Barons replace 'a' Augusta's behind with 'y' yen

[saladdodger]

Thanks Mamyalynne, scorpiojo, sandyRoe, JJ109

30a ?A????

[donny48]

This may be utter rubbish:
reading can = reading goal (can being slang for jail)
?a???? = ballad , ballad of reading goal by oscar wilde

[saladdodger]

Thanks donny48... i was thinking of Oscar in Reading Gaol ... will see if i can fit crossers with it

[saladdodger]

yep ballad fits with the other 2 downs now so thanks again donny!

Most answers come too quick for me to get a look in so it's nice to get one that I can do in time.
