Bright Star by John Keats read by actor Julian Sands

Listen to actor Julian Sands read Bright Star, the poem which John Keats dedicated to his fiancée Fanny Brawne. Sands joined us in Rome in September 2020 for two exclusive and highly intimate readings as part of our Keats-Shelley200 programme to mark the bicentenaries of Keats’s and Shelley’s deaths in Italy, and to celebrate their extraordinary legacies.
