The Foundations of English Poetry: II: From Chaucer to Surrey

on 2LO London

View in Radio Times

Read by Mr. Robert Harris

After Chaucer and before the great Elizabethans there came a string of lesser poets - considerable enough on their own account - and anonymous lyricists who produced some poetry that is well worth its place in any anthology.

This afternoon's reading will include poems by Dunbar, Surrey, and Wyatt, who will be represented by the famous 'Forget not yet.'
