Three talks by Elizabeth Bowen
Elizabeth Bowen has chosen three aspects of the novelist's craft - story, people, and time - to exemplify her own beliefs about the art of fiction and what the reader should expect from the novelist. The three talks will analyse and define the novelist's 'truth.'

From story and theme, Elizabeth Bowen goes on this week to discuss the people and the means that the novelist uses to give them life and to 'engage' them in the plot. She shows how the two main methods of doing this - analysis and dialogue - have been used, and how they have altered, in novels written over the last 150 years. Her illustrations are taken from works of Henry James, Dorothy Richardson, Jane Austen, E.M. Forster, and Ivy Compton-Burnett.
Illustrations read by Arthur Ridley, Robert Sansom, and Marjorie Mars

I-The Continual Crisis
Speakers:
Asa Briggs
Professor of Modern History in the University of Leeds
Malcolm Muggeridge
Editor of Punch
Donald Tyerman
Editor of The Economist
Professor Briggs argues that exhortation has failed as a means of solving our economic difficulties, which are much more deep-seated than is usually admitted. They can only be mastered by greatly increasing output or reducing our commitments.
