The Desire and Dream of a Lifetime

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

' Even in calm weather like today there was a swell here; and the mischievous boatmen kept us tossing between two ugly rocks, hoping that our impatience to land might better their bargain ... But the disappointed rascals allowed us at length to plant foot in Palestine'. Throughout the 19th century, many Victorians voyaged to the Holy Land on travels that were part-pilgrimage and part-holiday.
R. D. Kernohan looks at the lives and importance of some of these travellers and at the personal accounts they left behind. Readers Michael Elder and Sheila Donald
Producer PATRICK RAYNER BBC Scotland
