Tennyson’s Maud

10AM, RADIO 4 EXTRA On National Poetry Day, Joseph Millson reads Tennyson’s ‘monodrama’ Maud – a powerful tale of obsessional love, murder and madness, written in 1855. A troubled young man roams the hills, haunted by his father’s suicide and his mother’s early death – and by his childhood sweetheart, Maud.
