A very special set of recordings of poets reading their own works, courtesy of The British Library Sound Archive. These voices have survived and been preserved for all time, featuring the 19th Century greats like Alfred, Lord Tennyson in 1890, as well as a historic recording of Robert Browning forgetting his words and W.B. Yeats explaining how he reads his poetry. Also featured are both 19th and 20th figures like Laurence Binyon, Walter de la Mare, Gertrude Stein, John Masefield, Ezra Pound, Edith Sitwell, T.S. Eliot, e.e. cummings and David Jones. Rarities include the only surviving recording by Rudyard Kipling, readings by the World-War I poet Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves.
