À propos de ce contenu audio

Dive into the evocative world of The White Doe of Rylstone, a narrative poem crafted by William Wordsworth that unfolds in seven cantos against the backdrop of the Northern Rebellion of 1569. This gripping tale follows a band of Catholic noblemen from Northern England as they challenge Queen Elizabeth I in a bid to place Mary, Queen of Scots, on the throne. However, their ambitions lead to tragedy as Elizabeths forces retaliate mercilessly against the Yorkshire Dales. Inspired by a visit to Bolton Abbey, Wordsworth poignantly illustrates the harrowing fate of a Catholic family caught in the turmoil, as the patriarch makes the fateful decision to support the rebellion. Though not one of Wordsworths most celebrated works, he regarded The White Doe of Rylstone as one of his finest achievements. - Summary by Phil BensonCopyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction
