Afternoon Play: Henry and William

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By
Mike Walker , adapted from the correspondence of Henry and William James. "Dear Willy, we have been so long apartthat somehow it is difficult to recognise how much togetherwe are...."
Throughout their lives, often as not separated by the Atlantic ocean, the brothers James -one, a great novelist, the other, a great philosopher-wrote almost daily, intimate letters to one another. Here are the bowel movements, back pains, the death of their father and sister, impressions of Europe, news from America, books well received, books damned, envy, anger and love.
