John Ruskin at Brantwood Written and narrated by FRANCIS WATSON with
Marah Slohl as Rose La Touche ' All I look for is light and peace. Those - unless by some strange chance of evil - are sure to me.'
But in the peaceful home that he had found for himself by Coniston Water, John Ruskin went mad.
This programme is the story of a great mind in collapse, dramatised with a wealth of direct testimony that includes some of the astonishing diary-record, only recently published, made by Ruskin up to the critical moment of his first serious attack. wilth the voices of JULIET COOKE DAVID MAHLOWE and PAUL WEBSTER Producer HERBERT SMITH (Manchester)
