Dr. Sherwood Taylor has made a special study of alchemy. In this talk he examines what might be called the technology of alchemy, which evolved into the chemical techniques and laboratories of today, and considers the mass of symbolic pictures left by the alchemists - pictures that illumine the medieval ideas of nature and man.

Four talks to mark the fourth centenary of Spenser's birth
3 — ' The Prince of Poets of his Tyme' by E. M. W. Tillyard , Litt.D.
Master of Jesus College, Cambridge
The speaker discusses whether Spenser did in fact fulfil the great ambitions he entertained when he wrote The Faerie
Queene. Dr. Tillyard shows how Spenser consciously set out to emulate Ariosto and how he aimed at being the English Virgil, and places him in h:s literary context -native and European. The title of this talk is taken from the epitaph on Spenser's tomb in Westminster Abbey.
