Patriotism-2
Strangers came gladly to thee Exiles, chosen of men,
Safe for thy sake in thy shade
Sat down at thy feet and were free
Last 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 has been broadcasting a shortened version of four of the Qark Lectures for 1953 recently delivered in Cambr:dge. In the lectures he has iMustrated his thesis of the development of certain ' great impersonal themes in English poetry by tracing the course of two of them: stoicism and patriotism. He ends tonight's lecture by asking for a change in the climate of literary criticism to encourage a poetry that can be more widely read and enjoyed.
