* THE CUNNING OF UNREASON

on BBC Radio 3

Two talks on psycho-history by PETER BURKE
Lecturer in History and Director of Studies in the History of Ideas, University of Sussex
1: The Dreams of Archbishops ' We have no history of love. We have no history of death. We have neither the history of compassion nor of cruelty. We have no history of joy.'
Perhaps not, yet. But we have the beginnings of the attempt to write one. Psycho-history seeks to chart the patterns lying beneath and around those of our more deliberate behaviours.
2, Chairs, Mirrors, and Autobiographies: February 6
