Talk by Sewell Stokes
Extracts from the novels read by Leslie Stokes
The speaker describes the eccentric personality of the writer who has been called ' the first and almost the only Impressionist in English fiction.' Already the man himself has become something of a legend. Since his death in 1926 the appreciation of his novels has steadily grown, and after being out of print for a number of years five of them are now republished in one volume.

by W. W. Robson , Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford
On November 7. 1667, both Charles II and Samuel Pepys attended the first performance of ' The Tempest; or, the Enchanted Island,' adapted to contemporary taste by Dryden and Davenant. A few years later Thomas Shadwell revised it into an opera, ' having all new in it; all things performed so admirably well, that not any succeeding opera got more money.' The preface to this evening's performance describes the conditions in which it was originally produced.
