Thirteen weekly readings 10: Poems and Songs of Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke
Compiled by THOM GUNN and DOUGLAS CLEVERDON
Poems spoken by DENYS HAWTHORNE

' Servant to Queen Elizabeth, councillor to King James, and friend to Sir Philip Sidney. ' Greville is also a poet of extraordinary richness and diversity, who moved (as Donne later) from the paradoxes of love to the paradoxes of Christianity.
