on Third Programme

View in Radio Times

by Henry Reed
Produced by Douglas Cleverdon
' The late Richard Shewin has been justly called " the poet's novelist "; and he may certainly be regarded as the noblest precursor of (if we may coin a phrase) the new Elizabethan Age. But his literary glory is not our theme-which is no Jess than the man himself.' and Settings of Schopenhauer and ' Don't Hurt My Heart' composed and played by Donald Swann
