John Carewe , with Rosemary Phillips (reciter) in a programme of music by Bach and Schoenberg.
MARGARET MURRAY, D.Lit., F.S.A.(Scotland), F.R.A.I., Fellow of University College, London, is now over ninety years of age, and her memories go back to the Franco-Prussian War. She was one of the first pupils of Sir Flinders Petrie and later, after making important excavations in Egypt, taught hieroglyphics at University College, London; among her pupils were several men who have since become distinguished archaeologists. Author of many books, she is still intellectually active and is now working on the history of religion.
In this programme she discusses with Leonard Cottrell her childhood and early life in India and England, the personalities she has met and experiences gained in some seventy years of archaeological and anthropological research.
