Aimée van de Wiele (harpsichord)
Written and produced by W. R. Rodgers
On the western fringe of Europe are fast vanishing evidences of a civilisation that once covered the whole Atlantic area. Its literature was oral; and the storyteller with his sagas and wonder-tales was the book, the newspaper, and the film of his society. This programme presents the fading picture of storytelling today. The Gaelic recordings were made by a unit in the course of a recent Irish journey

A talk by Marchesa Origo
Students of Byron have long sought his Italian love-letters to the Contessa Teresa Guiccioli. These letters have been preserved by her descendants, locked away in the family villa near Florence. Her great-nephew, Count Carlo Gamba , has now given permission to Marchesa Origo to prepare an English translation of the letters, which will be published in this country next year. In this talk the Marchesa describes the letters and their background, and shows how they modify and extend what is known about Byron's last years. ' The Byron of this correspondence,' she says, ' is not a Byron we have ever met before
