The World of Barbara Pym

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A handsome, self-indulgent man (he may be a clergyman or anthropologist) is an object of interest to 'excellent women' and dry-witted female realism is tempered by female romanticism, in the pursuit of 'something to love.' This is the fictional world of Barbara Pym, who died in 1980. Her real world, connecting and contrasting, is revealed in her letters and diaries.
She herself is remembered by friends and Hilary, her sister. Her written words are read by Brenda Bruce
Presented and produced by PAMELA HOWE
