Cheltenham Festival
10th October 2019, 3.30 pm
The Keats-Shelley Memorial Association begins its Keats-Shelley 200 Bi-Centenary programme by supporting Adam Nicolson's event at the Cheltenam Literary Festival.
In his new book The Making of Poetry, acclaimed author Adam Nicolson narrates Wordsworth and Coleridge's 'Year of Marvels': how two young men of genius, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, lived together in the Quantock Hills, producing subversive and astonishing works such as Kubla Khan, The Ancient Mariner, Lyrical Ballads and Tintern Abbey.
