Veritable Michael

The true story of two victorian poets and lovers, who lived and wrote under the pseudonym, Michael Field. This podcast opera combines the journals, poetry and letters of Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper with an original score by Tom Floyd and explores the sensual, fantastical and witty world of Michael Field, and his struggle with Victorian patriarchy.
