Excellent recordings badly packaged

Excellent recordings made by English actors in the 1980s. Unfortunately whoever uploaded them to Audible didn’t bother to type the name of the poem and the poet into each chapter heading. The first 11 are Browning; followed by Tennyson; Matthew Arnold; Arthur Hugh Clough; Hopkins; Hardy; DG Rossetti; Swinburne; C Rossetti; and William Morris. You’ll have to Google first lines to identify the poems.
