About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox volunteers bring you 10 recordings of Tithonus by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for February 7, 2016. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Brian Darby; Newgatenovelist; Greg Giordano; Leonard Wilson; Martin Geeson; Maria Kasper; Peter Yearsley; Ryan Finch and Tony Addison. Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS was Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets. "Tithonus" doesn't mean a whole lot without the knowledge that the speaker is a mythological character who was loved by a goddess and was granted immortality, but not immortal youth. Since the gods could not take back their gifts, he was doomed to slowly suffer the extremes of decay as he grew ever older and older. (Summary by Leonard Wilson)
