As well as being a distinguished Bath doctor, William Oliver was a poet who wrote a Pastoral Elegy for a deceased patient. Who was Dr Oliver’s lover? Duncan McGibbon recites, for only the second time in history, this moving and accomplished poem.

The famous 18th Bath doctor and inventor of the Bath Oliver biscuit had a poetic side. This is a rare chance to hear the poem recited by Duncan McGibbon, published poet and convenor for the Poetry group at Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution, which celebrates its Bicentenary in 2024.
