'THE DISCOVERY OF FRANCE'

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

A selection of the writings of Englishmen on France showing their gradual discovery of her fascination by Igor Vinogradoff and Stephen Potter
Short dramatic scenes set in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries will show the effect upon various people in England of the growing knowledge of France, the French people, and French culture. The theme will develop from the times when little was known of France, through the heyday of French court life and pomp, to the times when English writers began to discover the truth about the folk across the Channel.
