THE FOUNDATIONS OF ENGLISH POETRY-VI, Some Caroline Lyrics

on 2LO London

View in Radio Times

Read by Miss JEAN FORBES-ROBERTSON and Mr. ROBERT HARRIS
AFTER the glories of the Elizabethan age, of Shakespeare and of Milton, whose poetry formed the subject of last week's reading, come the slighter, but very lovely lyricists of the seventeenth century. This afternoon will be read poems by Donne, the mystic whose genius never found full expression in his verse, by Marvell, Herbert, Herrick and Vaughan, and by several more of the graceful poets- of their time.
