A twentieth-century tribute to Horace: written and produced by Louis MacNeice
[Starring] Stephen Murray and Mary O'Farrell
This programme is partly the portrait of a modern 'Horatian' gentleman and partly an anthology of verse. It contains translations and paraphrases of Horace's Odes, and original poems by Englishmen in the Horatian tradition; there are also snatches of the Latin original and recordings of yesterday's song-hits.
