Lyric Herrick
OBERT HERRICK (1591-1674), as a lyrist of English home and village life, has few equals among English poets. He wrote well over a thousand | poems, all of them quite short, and almost all written in the same gentle _and inimitable manner. Herrick was _ born in Cheapside, London, and, with | | his brothers and sisters, was brought | by dn uncle, Sir William Herrick, after the death (suspected to be suicide) of his father. He was educated at Cam- | bridge, became a Master of Arts in | 1620, and then took Holy Orders. In a_ _ two-part programme, His Head Crowned | | with Daffodils, written by Celia and _ Cecil Manson, listeners will be given some glimpses of Herrick the man and his poetry, and at the same time a picture of the troubled times he lived in. The first part deals wah the period when the poet was a country parson in Devon, and with the poetry he wrote then; the second tells of Herrick’s of the King’s cause and the resulting loss of his parish when Cromwell took power in 1648. This second ‘part concludes with Herrick’s return to Lofidon. The first part will be heard from 2YC at 10.0 p.m.‘on Sunday, July 22; the second on July 29 at the same tive.
