[Four lectures at the University at Buffalo, 1966] / Basil Bunting.

Recorded in 1966 at the University at Buffalo by Allen De Loach for the Poetry Collection on two 120 minute Compact sound cassettes.

This recording is of Basil Bunting delivering four lectures on poetry. Throughout the lectures, Bunting reads poems by Marianne Moore, Thomas Campion, Robert Herrick, Sir Thomas Wyatt, Ezra Pound, Samuel Johnson, and Sir Philip Sidney. Bunting indicates that he is going to conclude the last lecture by reading from "The shepheardes calendar" by Edmund Spenser, but the end of the lecture seems not to have been recorded.
