: READING A POEM
2—' Dejection,' by S. T. ColeridgeTalk by A. Alvarez
The poem is read by Christopher Hassall before and after the talk
In this series critics are invited to take a single poem and examine it in as much detail as they see fit in order to bring out the full meaning.
' Modern poetry,' Mr. Alvarez says,
' has brought about a queer change in our tastes and reading habits. Nowadays we take the very obscure poetry of the seventeenth century quite in our stride. Romantic poetry, so much simpler in language and even in aims, we find more difficult.' In the ode Dejection, ' there is an informal intimacy, a coolness and candour which add up to the prime poetic virtue: creative objectivity.'

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
