1 : The ' Biography ' of Ideas by PETER BURKE
Lecturer in History and Director of Studies in the History of Ideas at the University of Sussex
Perhaps it is the British distrust of ideas, plain and simple, which has made us slower to study them historically than Germany and America. But the history of ideas is far from being windily abstract. Their development and relationship can be studied not in terms of pure philosophy but in their living interaction with the societies that produced them and were in turn changed by them. Linguistics, psychology, communications theory -these are only some of the directions from which they can be approached.

La Fianza Satisjecha by Lope de Vega 1562-1635
Translated for broadcasting by JOE BURROUGHS
Cast in order of speaking:
The scenes are laid first in Sicily and then tn Tunisia
Time: Renaissance
La Fianza Satisfecha is now in the repertoire of the National Theatre in a free adaptation by John Osborne under the title A Bond Honoured. This new prose translation of the original text of Lope de Vega 's play in verse as published in the latest collected edition of his work (Madrid 1965) shows some differences both in context and implication from Mr. Osborne's version.
Produced by JOE BURROUGHS
