T0 be a professor of poetry and a recognized authority on poetic technique, and at the same time to be a poet, is not a very common feat. Professor Lascelles Abercrombie has accomplished it, for he has held the Chair of English Literature at Leeds for the last six years and written such classic critical works as ' The Theory of Poetry,' ' The Idea of Great Poetry,' and ' Romanticism,' whilst his own poetry has a quality that listeners will be able to appreciate for themselves tonight.
