Stanzas from Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats by P.B. Shelley read by Julian Sands

Celebrated actor Julian Sands reads a selection of stanzas from Shelley's tribute to Keats which was first published in 1821.
To celebrate the Bicentenary of John Keats's death, actor and Keats-Shelley200 Ambassador Julian Sands reads Adonais, the elegy that Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote to commemorate Keats here in the Salone of the Keats-Shelley House.
Sands joined us here 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.

I just found about a week ago about his passing or should we say waking from life's dream 🙏 RIP Dear Julian Sands. I'm so happy that these videos exist and am not surprised to see that he was/is still for now perhaps such a passionate and educated actor and scholar of poetry and theater. As a musician and future performer I'm happy and fortunate to have this precious inspiration. Thank you so much Julian Sand, John Keats & Percy Bysshe Shelley.
