A Map of British Poetry

on BBC Radio 4 FM

4/12. Mountains. Did Wordsworth invent the Lake District? Can we see a mountain without thinking of him and the other Romantic poets who revelled in the sublime? Do peaks diminish us or raise us on high? Andrew Motion continues his exploration of the landscapes of British poetry, with contributions from Robert Macfarlane and poems by Keats, Wordsworth, Gerard Manley Hopkins , Shelley, Ivor Gurney , AE Housman and WH Auden. Readers are Tom Courtenay , Kenneth Cranham , lain Glen, Jamie Glover , Pete Postlethwaite and Simon Russell Beale. Producer Tim Dee Repeated on Saturday at 11.30pm
