The problem with this pronounciation is that it is the result of a highly mannered affectation cultivated exponentially over many generations in the cause of brutally exaggerated class distinction. I find this audible.

Fantastic! This kind of pronounciation is so rare these days...this is a delight to watch. Thank you.

@ivukov The problem with this pronounciation is that it is the result of a highly mannered affectation cultivated exponentially over many generations in the cause of brutally exaggerated class distinction. I find this audible. I love these actors when playing roles, but prefer an accent without this historical baggage to get this great poetry accross.

Lovely... has this series been released on DVD by any chance?

[Toddysfins]

Unfortunately Six Centuries of Verse hasn't been released on DVD, last time I searched for it online it seemed that someone was offering a download of it. That's the best I can do, Thanks for watching.

That's funny, because astrology is just words.
