The Poacher, A Serious Ballad

About this film

LibriVox volunteers bring you 8 recordings of The Poacher, A Serious Ballad by Thomas Hood. This was the Weekly Poetry project for August 16, 2015. Read in English by Chris Pyle; David Lawrence; Newgatenovelist; J. McDougall; Larry Wilson; Leonard Wilson; Greg Giordano and NoelBadrian. There were scarcely any events in the life of Thomas Hood. One condition there was of too potent determining importance—life-long ill health; and one circumstance of moment—a commercial failure, and consequent expatriation. Beyond this, little presents itself for record in the outward facts of this upright and beneficial career, bright with genius and coruscating with wit, dark with the lengthening and deepening shadow of death. (from the Biographical Introduction (by William Michael Rossetti) to The Poetrical Works of Thomas Hood) 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.
