{"product_id":"9780712305488","title":"The Spoken Word: Edith Sitwell","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdith Sitwell was the queen of twentieth-century English poetry, majestically attired in performance and distinctly regal in her delivery. Drawing on previously unpublished BBC broadcasts, this CD presents a complete programme from 1948 in which she discusses her poetry in great technical detail - illustrating her talk with performed poems and extracts - and a live poetry performance recorded at the Aldeburgh Festival of 1956.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAmong the poems she reads are 'Aubade', 'Dark Song', 'The Youth with the Red-Gold Hair' and 'The Canticle of the Rose'. The collection is completed with a recording of 'Still Falls the Rain', perhaps her most popular poem, taken from a 1946 disc issued with the aim of improving cultural relations with the U.S.S.R.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Library, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028404420848,"sku":"9780712305488","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780712305488_p0.jpg?v=1763622370","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780712305488","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
