Here is section 19 Oscar of Alva. That was a doozy!
Section 19 is PL OK! :thumbs:
Very well read for such a long poem, I enjoyed listening to the story. :wink:

Just one comment: at around 9.35 the is a large drop in volume, nothing to prevent the recording being accepted but you might want to work out why that happened for the sake of future recordings :?

PL Notes:
The text is correct and well read :wink:
A few minor points:
at 0.01 the first word of the title sounds more like Figments rather than Fragments, could you make this clearer.
at 0.08 insert From The Prometheus Vinctus of Aeschylus
at 1.01 replace End of Section 28 by End of Poem This Recording is in the Public Domain

How silly of me :oops: I did read 'figments' instead of 'fragments', I can imagine you listening to the title in disbelief and saying 'how could she!!' :lol:
other two corrections done too :oops: thank you for your kind PL notes.

Just 1 PL Note:
at 3.38 (Page 116) I think you may be confused by the peculiar editorial technique used here. The word note shown in a bracket needs to appended to the line below, so Yet prizing Bentley's, Brunck's, or Porson's note. This is needed to rhyme with wrote on the following line :wink:
Everything else is OK!

corrected; I assumed 'note' to be a reference to the footnotes and completely ignored the rhyme :?
