I have just heard the last of the Homer talks, given by the poet Michael Longley. I do recommend that you listen to these programmes - use the Listen Again facility on the BBC website.

Among this week's contributers were two who have lectured to the ArLT, Barbara Graziosi (at Durham) and Oliver Taplin (passim).

Next week there are four talks on Horace.

They are each evening, Monday to Thursday, at 11-11.15 p.m.
