A dramatic interlude written for broadcasting by RHODA POWER
In today's broadcast you will hear about the new ideas that were spreading in Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries ; how English-men like Sir John Tiptoft travelled to Italy and shared in the great revival of learning ; how scholars like Sir Thomas More became the friends of the most learned men of the time ; how the merchants began to look abroad for new markets and new ways of trading, and how King Henry VII himself sent Cabot outwards across the Atlantic to search for new lands.
