2: Chaucer. Geoffrey Chaucer , the father of English poetry, author of The Canterbury Tales, was a scholar, diplomat, civil servant, courtier and lawyer.

2: Maitre de Danse
Louis XIV, Lully's employer and loyal supporter for over 30 years, shared with his court composer a singular love of dance, and Lully obligingly made it his mission to keep the regal feet tapping. His own favourite opera, Armide, demanded exotic staging and was packed full of dance. In this morning's programme, Robert King introduces music from this and other operas which demonstrate Lully's unequalled sense of musical drama and his exceptional melodic gifts. Music includes:
Armide (excerpts) Collegium Vocale, Ghent, La Chapelle Royale , director Philippe Herreweghe
Dances from 'Cadmus et Hermione"
London Oboe Band, director Paul Goodwin
Prologue: Atys
Les Arts Florissants, director William Christie

China has fascinated the western imagination, from Jane Austen to Ezra Pound, and profoundly influenced western culture. But how far have we escaped the misconceptions and exotic distortions of history? Richard Coles talks to the acclaimed historian
Jonathan Spence , whose new book The Chan's Great Continent explores seven centuries of western thought on China, and argues that, to the West, China remains as elusive as ever. And, in the week the new
Welsh Assembly is officially opened, the second of three letters from
Welsh writers invited by Night Waves to air their hopes and concerns on cultural issues.
