Four talks on the Novel by Owen Holloway
In these four talks Mr. Holloway will consider the techniques that mark out the novel from the other literary arts. He begins by describing the novel as a product of the baroque revolution which, four centuries ago, first awakened interest in the impression made on the public by works of art.

Talk by Nikolaus Pevsner Slade Professor of Fine Art in the University of Cambridge
In recent talks Basil Taylor criticised the eighteenth-century ' Poturesque ' movement, and its twentieth-century revival, for ' fluttering the sensibility without troubling imagination or conscience.' In this talk Dr. Pevsner contests Mr. Taylor's views. He believes that the eighteenth-century rheorists illuminated all appreciation of the arts and of nature, and that the modern ' Picturesque ' movement has been vital and beneficial, particularly to contemporary architecture and planning.
