8.20 Book of the Month
Monthly review programme examining one of the most interesting new publications. In a new biography, Andrew Motion reassesses the social and political context of Keats's work. Steve Connor reviews
Motion's Keats and discusses changing perceptions of the past.
Keats has become a byword for the poetic identity - talented, suffering, youthful but wise. From his troubled orphan childhood, through gruelling medical training, thwarted love and early death, his career has acquired a mythic quality. But how far has the fascination with this story concealed the details of his life?
8.40 Webem Three Songs, Op 18: Five Canons on Latin Texts, Op 16
