Elizabethan Culture and Ideas
Nine programmes about the attitudes and beliefs of the Elizabethans

In the perspective of history there is a sharp contrast between England in the Elizabethan age and in the early seventeenth century. The change in mood was indeed already noticeable before the end of Elizabeth's reign. C. V. WEDGWOOD, author of several books on the Stuart period, examines this changing climate of opinion in the early years of the new century.

Fission and Energy
Two talks by GORDON LEFF
Lecturer in Medieval History in the University of York
1: William of Occam and his school
The late Middle Ages were, like our own day, a time of intense change, which many felt was the end of the world. The dynamic turbulence of social life was both cause and effect of an intellectual revolution. William of Occam and his followers led the way in formulating the crisis in the world of thought. It was a kind of medieval atomic explosion. which. like our own, showed two faces: destruction and creative energy.
Mr. Letf's second talk. on Nicholas of Cusa, will be broadcast on October 26.
These talks are among a number devised to accompany the current series of music programmes from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
