Charles Baudelaire - 1942

Modern poetry begins with Charles Baudelaire (1821-67), who employed his unequalled technical mastery to create the shadowy, desperately dramatic urban landscape -- populated by the addicted and the damned -- which so compellingly mirrors our modern condition.

Deeply though darkly spiritual, titanic in the changes he wrought, Baudelaire looms over all the work, great and small, created in his wake.

The Wasteland & Four Quartets

T.S. Eliot - 1942

These are masterly readings, by renowned actor Paul Schofield, of two substantial works of poetry by T.S.

Eliot. The Waste Land, first published in 1922, is one of Eliot's most influential works and has long been on the syllabus for A-Level English Literature. Four Quartets consists of four long poems, first published between 1935 and 1942. They are linked by common themes, and are individually Burnt Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages and Little Gidding. Schofield’s consummate renditions of these important works received huge acclaim when they were originally broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
