About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox volunteers bring you 11 recordings of On Hearing the Messiah performed in Gloucester Cathedral, Sept. 18, 1835 by William Lisle Bowles. This was the Weekly Poetry project for November 13, 2016. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Brent M.; David Lawrence; esharp; Jude; Kangaroo; Lee Ann Howlett; Maria Kasper; Matthew Datcher; Rosslyn Carlyle and Tomas Peter. Bowles came from a line of Church of England clergymen. His great-grandfather Matthew Bowles, grandfather Dr Thomas Bowles and father William Thomas Bowles had all been parish priests. In 1789 he published, in a very small quarto volume, Fourteen Sonnets, which were received with extraordinary favour, not only by the general public, but by such men as Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Wordsworth.
