A new play for radio by Martin Walser translated by MICHAEL GELIOT with and Produced by MARTIN ESSLIN
Second broadcast
Martin Walser , one of the leading writers of the German post-war generation, specialises in sardonic descriptions of the affluent society in present day Germany. But the marital crisis described in this comedy certainly has its parallels elsewhere as well.

Readers, Denis GOACHER
FRANK DUNCAN
Produced by Douglas Cleverdon
Among the sketches, lyrics, and jottings in the so-called Rossetti Note-Book of William Blake are his working drafts for Songs of Experience. One single page contains seven lyrics, including London, The Lily, Nurse's Song, and The Tyger. Following the pattern of his earlier programme, The Writing of The Eve of St. Agnes, Robert Gittings analyses the process of Blake's composition of these great poems.
