Nice that you put these on KZbin for a wider audience! Charles Williams's Poetry at Present is scanned in the Internet Archive, for anyone interested in following it up - as are assorted things by Abercrombie, who was also an important Tolkien connection!

Blake's Prophetic Books for the most part are written in fourteeners. If I remember rightly unrhymed. Which is as much as to say ballad metre. Which to me seems strangely appropriate. (Cf. Arthur Golding's version of - is it? - the Metamorphoses of Ovid.)

His lectures are better than many people's poems (including his own). Indeed he sounds as if he is declaiming a poem. A very great poem. Should one consider them as poems? I must say I'm inclined to do so.

Many years ago, Boston U.'s show "World of Ideas" featured a reading by Hill of "English Devotional Poetry" from c. 16th-20th centuries. For some reason they took it down a long time ago. Any chance anyone got a copy of that before it was memory-holed?

@art.and.lit.matters Жыл бұрын

Hi Drooix, Curious you mention Hill's "English Devotional Poetry" recording. I found it mesmerizing on first hearing and listened to it many times after till it became my favorite poetry recording ever. I was unsettled when it disappeared and have looked for it ever since. I hope someone finds it or reposts it.

I wonder why the version he reads of Wyatt's sonnet is so different from the one on the screen. I don't mean to imply that the poster of the video got it wrong; maybe Hill did, in spite of his persuasive arguing for the usage of non-modernized versions of texts. The screened sonnet certainly does not look modernized.

@jacksonpowers Жыл бұрын

Yeah I think Hill must have been reading from a different edition, I couldn't find it myself so I posted the version from Tottel's Miscellany, which is the first print of the poem. Most of the differences aren't major, but in the penultimate line he reads "kindly", where the first edition has "vnkindely."

@abbonent Жыл бұрын

But even the minor differences arent minor according to Hill’s stated views. I wont press the point further, I am just very confused. It seems so unlike him to be careless with versions
