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 pre-curs-or of (if we may coin a phrase) the new Elizabethan Age. But his literary glory is not our theme ... which is no leas than the man himself.
Settings of Schopenhauer and ' Don't Hurt My Heart' composed by Donald Swann
