The Testament of Cresseid
Vona Groarke with Olivia O’Leary
To mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Seamus Heaney, we’re delighted to present this series of discussions in which leading contemporary poets explore some of Heaney’s most celebrated translations. For this first reading, Vona Groarke joins Olivia O’Leary to talk about The Testament of Cresseid, Heaney’s version of Robert Henryson’s tragic poem about Troilus and Criseyde, set in the aftermath of the Trojan War.
