Andromeda, and Other Poems
Charles Kingsley
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
This is a collection of the most famous poems of Charles Kingsley. Kingsley was an extremely versatile man, Wikipedia lists him as "broad church priest of the Church of England, a university professor, social reformer, historian and novelist. He is particularly associated with Christian socialism, the working men's college, and forming labour cooperatives that failed but led to the working reforms of the progressive era. He was a friend and correspondent with Charles Darwin." All those varied interests and backgrounds are reflected in his poetry, which is as versatile as the author himself. - Summary by Carolin (3 hr 40 min)
