News of tonight's world premiere in Glasgow of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies 's new choral piece, The Rising, written to commemorate the Jacobite rebellion. Humphrey Carpenter explores the cultural impact of Jacobinism since the 1745 uprising. In the week of the opening of Wilde, starring Stephen Fry and based on Richard Ellman 's classic biography, Carpenter also assesses the recent flood of books and studies on Wilde and asks why the nineties have gone wild on Wilde.
