Product Description

Based on Palgrave's Anthology this stunning collection of great lyric poems in the English language was recorded in 1957. Many of the scratches, crackle and other noises present on the original recordings have been digitally removed. In judging a lyric poem, Palgrave maintained that "passion, colour, and originality cannot atone for serious imperfections in clearness, unity, or truth,... above all, that Excellence should be looked for rather in the Whole that in Parts. Featuring poetry by Marlowe, Shakespeare & Wyatt amongst others and narrated by Claire Bloom, Eric Portman & John Neville.
