Heir to my affection - the drama and poetry of William Shakespeare, John Donne and George Herbert
ABC Encounter broadcast:
Sunday 3 April 2012
Chief Investigator, Peter Holbrook, in conversation about how early modern writers of Reformation England cast a vivid light not only upon their own culture but upon ours as well. Shakespeare, Donne and Herbert sharpen our awareness of the spectrum of Catholic, Protestant and secular ideas circulating in an intensely conflicted period of Western history. They raise questions of religious belief and the most ardent claims for human affection. What these late 16th and early 17th century writers have in common is their passion for true and deep feeling, for values that speak to the heart as well as the mind. As they write about relationship with God, the struggles of personal identity and the connection with others, we hear stories of agony, love, rebellion and loyalty.

In our fast and busy world, it’s hard to get time alone. Do you crave solitude or does the idea of being alone make you feel uncomfortable and disconnected? Where do you go and what do you do when you’re seeking solitude? CHE Associate Investigator, Prof Barry Spurr, is interviewed about his research on solitude in poetry. Professor Spurr's project, 'The Bliss of Solitude', is an examination of the representation of solitude in poetry in English from the Early Modern period to the beginning of the Romantic movement. How do poets in the different periods of English verse describe and assess solitude and how does this subject influence the technical aspects of their poetry?
