About this listen

 In his later years, Byron masterfully weaves the tale of the infamous mutiny aboard the Bounty in his narrative poem, The Island. This gripping story follows the rebellious crew as they escape to a remote South Sea island, which they come to see as their guilt-won Paradise. Join us as we delve into themes of freedom, guilt, and the search for redemption. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)
