Description
Daisy Hay joins us to talk about her debut book, 'Young Romantics', a group biography which describes the lives of a circle of second-generation Romantics including Byron, Keats and the Shelleys. In the book Hay dispels the myth of the romantic poet as a solitary, introspective genius, showing how the astonishingly young group drew inspiration from each other to produce their artistic triumphs.
