Elizabeth Bishop & Christina Rossetti

31 October 2019

This is a past event.

On All Hallows’ Eve, leading actors read from the work of two of the finest poets of the 19th and 20th centuries: London-born Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) and Massachusetts-born Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979). On the 125th and 40th anniversaries of their respective deaths, their extraordinary poetry was brought to life in the London Library Reading Room, including Rossetti’s astonishing and aptly spooky ‘Goblin Market’ in its entirety.

Featuring award-winning actors Nichola McAuliffe, Elizabeth McGovern, Poppy Miller and Dame Harriet Walter. Cast and directed by Shevaun Wilder for The Josephine Hart Poetry Foundation in partnership with The Mayfair & St James’s Literary Festival.

All profits to the London Library and the George V Fund for Actors and Actresses.
