Title: The Owl and the Nightingale Author: Simon Armitage Narrator: Simon Armitage Format: mp3 Length: 1 hr and 36 mins Release date: 10-05-21 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: Following the success of his acclaimed translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, Simon Armitage shines light on another jewel of Middle English verse. In his thoroughly enjoyable version, Armitage communicates the energy, charm and humour of the tale - the earliest example of a 'debate poem'. An unnamed narrator overhears a fierce verbal contest between the two eponymous birds, which moves entertainingly from the eloquent and highfalutin to the ribald and ridiculous.
