The Arts Without Mystery Denis Donoghue, the Henry James Professor of Letters at New York University, gives the third of six lectures on the place of the arts in modern society.
The Parade of Ideas 'One of the peculiar things about the present situation is that while the dialects of criticism have become more than ever divisive, the arts as an institution have been drawn into the general purposes of society. The consequence is that democratic habits of mind, such as the objection to privilege, have, for better and worse, provided the conditions for the reception of the arts.'
(This lecture appears in THE LISTENER dated 25 Nov)

A 13-part series In which Jeremy Siepmann recounts, with the help of letters, diaries and memoirs, the adventures and resections of composers abroad.
4: Chopin in Europe
Sun all day, and heat; everyone in summer clothing. At night, guitars and singing for hours; huge balconies with grapevines overhead;
Moorish walls. Everything here looks towards Africa.'

4: Changing Gear
The next 20 years are going to be very difficult economically, politically and socially from the 20 just gone. The Pacific people are changing gear, not always smoothly. The easy ride they have had in the past is becoming rougher as the recession deepens and barriers go up to protect jobs in the old West. Mary Goldring maps out the new course. Producer TOM READ
