First of four lectures by Bonamy Dobree
Professor of English Literature in the University of Leeds
By permission of the Master and Council of Trinity College, Professor Dobree is to broadcast a shortened version of four of the Clark Lectures for 1953 recently de]ivered in Cambridge. He illustrates his thesis of the development of certain ' great impersonal themes ' in English poetry by tracing the course of two of tthem: sitoicism and patriotism. In this lecture he begins by commenting on the neglect by modern critics of poeticcontent as against poetic form.
