Song..While with fond rapture

About this film

LibriVox volunteers bring you 16 recordings of Song by Tobias Smollett. This is the weekly poem starting from October 16th, 2011. It's a lovely love song. ( Summary by Stav Nisser ) Taken from the Poetical Works of Johnson, Parnell, Gray, and Smollett by Thomas Gray et al. Smollett, for variety of powers, and indefatigable industry, has seldom been surpassed. He was a politician, a poet, a physician, a historian, a translator, a writer of travels, a dramatist, a novelist, a writer on medical subjects, and a miscellaneous author. It is only, however, as a novelist and a poet that he has any claims to the admiration of posterity.(Summary from the Explanatory Notes by The Rev. George Gilfillan, Edinburgh) For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
