The Land of Counterpane (1885) by Robert Louis Stevenson | Analysis & Commentary

Welcome to Ear Read This! I’m Ash, and on this channel I combine in-depth literary analysis with casual book reviews and discussion of a wide range of texts from Ovid to Sylvia Plath. Along with detailed episodes of the ERT podcast you’ll find reading updates, reactions to bookish news and my daily Poem of the Day series. Special areas of interest include Plath, Scottish (and in particular, Edinburgh) literature, Shakespeare and bird books. S2E42 (20/04/20) A poem for isolation? Today's episode looks at a single poem from Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses and examines the incongruous conditions in which he composed his arcadian songs. Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops. All other music by Epidemic Sound.
