The Long Search: 6: From the Image to the Word

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A unique set of churchwardens' accounts reveal the traumatic impact that the Reformation had on the life of a Devon village as its altars were abolished and icons removed. In the final programme in his investigation into the roots of spirituality in Britain, William Dalrymple is joined by novelist AS Byatt, who assesses how the shift of emphasis from the image to the word led to the birth of the English novel.
