Moral Notes: Love

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The Victorians perfected the use of popular song as a way to reflect values, morality and beliefs, it is an art which has never lost its ability to act as a mirror to society, as Simon Brett reveals in his exploration of morality in note form, from the early 19th century until today.
The Victorians edged the concept of love in lace. Under their tutelage it became an ideal to be aspired to, at least in public. But behind the sentiment lies a reality not so different from our own. Then, as now, it is a morality which is well documented in song.
