 Henry Reed radio drama - DIVERSITY
Writers such as Reed welcomed this segregation, as an article in the January, 1949, issue of BBC Quarterly entitled "What The Wireless Can Do For Literature" included the comment 'some listeners are fools and some are not...............we cannot wait for the fools to catch up with their betters'.

 XV.2: FALBO, Henry Reed and William Wordsworth
Reed’s editorial apparatus is minimal: a short ‘Preface by the American Editor’ and some notes included at the ends of the sections on ‘Poems Referring to the Period of Childhood’, ‘Poems of the Imagination’, ‘Poems of Sentiment and Reflection’, and ‘The Excursion’.
But Reed’s project in and of itself—the desire to import, as it were, an authentic Wordsworth—reflects conservative opinions in the Anglo–American literary field at large in the early part of the nineteenth century which held that America, not yet capable of producing its own national literature, might still look to England for literary culture.
Reed’s name—and by association, his authority (represented by his title, ‘Professor of English Literature in the University of Pennsylvania’)—does not compete with Wordsworth’s, but the way the two names appear on the page makes it clear that this is an edition rather than a reprint by the publisher or some anonymous compiler.

Henry Reed, the author of the script, writes: "I am not, of course, the author of this script.

 Henry Reed’s Naming of Parts
Advertisement: “Naming of Parts” is a poem, written by Henry Reed, which illustrates his anti-war sentiments through a series of drill sergeant instructions.
Reed only served in the army for a few months, and the poem is recounting a tale from boot camp rather than from the front like other poets of the time.
The last line of the first Stanza “and today we have naming of Parts….” is almost identical to the last line of the last stanza, prompting the reader to believe that there is no real progress for the sergeant, and that he is like a record, stuck on repeat.
