Classic Comic Verse

Audiobook

The comic is often thought to be particularly subjective. What makes one person roar with laughter can fail to elicit even the faintest of smiles from another. This simply illustrates, however, the extraordinary breadth of humour. Such breadth is amply encapsulated by this anthology of comic verse. Straddling several centuries and including poetry by figures such as Shakespeare, Rochester, Donne, Gay, Byron, Keats and from our own century, Sir John Betjeman, this collection covers the pantheon of humorous verse - from the satirical and sardonic to the outright nonsensical.

Music: Casella, Krommer, Praetorius, Satie, Rossini
