Imbued with psychological penetration, lively wit, and colloquial exuberance which were hitherto alien to Victorian poetry, Browning's poetry was remarkable for its time. His expert mimicry of voices from across the breadth of human nature makes for entertaining listening, and the characters that he depicts, such as the notoriously creepy and possessive Duke, are utterly fascinating.

Douglas Dodge modulates his voice beautifully to capture the slightly varied emotions of many poems. This well-edited recording contains Keats's most famous works: 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci,' 'The Eve of St. Agnes,' 'Ode to a Nightingale,' 'On a Grecian Urn,' along with many lesser-known short poems such as 'To Mrs. Reynolds' Cat' that exhibit the poet's more fanciful side.
