  • Sumário

  • Where rhyme gets its reason!In a historical survey of English literature, I take a personal and philosophical approach to the major texts of the tradition in order to not only situate the poems, prose, and plays in their own contexts, but also to show their relevance to our own. This show is for the general listener: as a teacher of high school literature and philosophy, I am less than a scholar but more than a buff. I hope to edify and entertain!

    Today we look at the love children of John Donne and Ben Jonson, a group of monarchist soldiers during the English Civil War. Collectively known as the Cavalier Poets, they are numerous. We'll look at some representative poems today by Robert Herrick, Thomas Carew, Richard Lovelace, and the ill-fated and unfortunately named Sir John Suckling.

    Additional music:
    "Consort for Brass" by Kevin MacLeod
    "La Violetta" by Claudio Monteverdi; perf. The Boston Camerata, dir. Joel Cohen
    "In Town Tonight" by Reginald Dixon; perf. Eric Coates
