Episode description
In this episode, I'm joined by Stefan Glowacki to discuss Tadeusz Rózewicz's long poem, 'Et in Arcadia Ego' (1961). Over the course of the episode, we consider how the poem might be thought of as Rózewicz's idiosyncratic 'Italian Journey', written in response not only to Goethe's text, but as an attempt to confront the ghosts of classicisim, a journey undertaken to see if the ideals of Western art can still be found among the wreckage of postwar Europe.
