A series of six programmes
1: War in the modern world by ALASTAIR BUCHAN Director of the Institute for Strategic Studies
For the first forty years of (his century the danger of war was conceived largely in European terms. But in the last twenty-two years hardly a shot has been fired in Europe, while Africa, the Middle East. Asia, and the Caribbean have been the scene of growing conflict. Indeed, it is no longer possible to study war as a purely military phenomenon since guerrilla warfare has become so common. with readings by Michael HARBOUR
Produced by Adrian Johnson
Study notes are available: see p. 69
See page 32

Six programmes in which an artist and a critic examine the impact wars have had on individual artists and on the development of painting and sculpture in this century.

†by NIRAD C. CHAUDRURI
Parliamentary government and the civil service are usually regarded as the major contributions of the British Raj to Indian life. Nirad Chaudhuri , author of Autobiography of an Unknown Indian and The Continent of Circe and this year's winner of the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize, does not discount their importance. To him the chief beneficial influence came through ' the awareness of a new kind of life ' brought about by the prolonged exposure of Indian intellectuals to English language and literature.

ⓢ ACT 2
Later that day

by RAYMOND WILLIAMS
Fellow of Jesus College. Cambridge and author of Culture and Society 1780-1950
In his first talk about the relationship between Literature and Rural Society. Mr. Williams argued against the concept of an ' organic society.' In this talk he takes the argument further: the simple, black-and-white contrast between city and country has involved, he claims. ' a misrepresentation of both kinds of life: the country has been tdealised, and the city extravagantly denounced.' He suggests that the conventional ways of treating city experience in literature may be as outdated as the cities themselves-which are ' essentially the products of nineteenth-century technology and communications.' And he traces the main responses to the city through modern English literature from Wordsworth to James Joyce , quoting from these and other major writers.
