Talk by David Daiches
One hundred years ago died John Wilson, Professor of Moral Philosophy at Edinburgh University and one of the liveliest and most mischievous figures in the history of literary journalism. He contributed to Blackwood's Magazine under the name of Christopher North , most memorably in the conversation-pieces known as Noctes Ambrosianae.
