Summary: Why did poets continue to call themselves singers, and their poems songs, long after the formal link between poetry and music had been severed? Daniel Karlin explores the origin and meaning of the 'figure of the singer', tracing its roots in classical mythology and in the Bible, and following its rise from the 'adventurous song' of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' to its apotheosis in the 19th century - by which time it had also become an oppressive cliche.
