Written by MAURICE CRANSTON with Felix Aylmer as SIR HENRY MAINE Stephen Murray as MATTHEW ARNOLD Allan McClelland as JOHN MORLEY
Some of the most liberal intellectuals of the Victorian period viewed the coming of democracy with dismay, and its few champions were on the defensive. Time has perhaps vindicated the democratic case so far as England is concerned; but experience elsewhere may equally be seen as confirming the opinions of the critics of democracy. Production by Douglas Cleverdon : third broadcast
