Dylan Thomas' success as a poet was matched by his popularity as a reader, both on the radio and on lecture tours in the UK and America, where he would read from his own writing and that of others. This cassette contains recordings of Dylan reading a selection of work by writers he admired.
On side one he reads poems by Vernon Watkins, W.H.Davies, Alun Lewis, Edward Thomas, Wilfred Owen, W.B. Yeats, Gerard Manley Hopkins and D.H.Lawrence. Side two is devoted to readings from John Milton's 'Comus' and 'Paradise Lost' (with Thomas as Satan).
Audio cassette approximate running time: 50 minutes.
