A study of Edgar Allan Poe
1809-1849 by PATRIC DICKINSON
The extracts from
Poe's prose and verse read by Anthony Quayle
Others taking part include
Nicolette Bernard , Hugh Dickson Denis Goacher , John Graham James Langham , David March Norman Shelley , David Spenser Production by Joe Burroughs
Patric Dickinson writes: 'Edgar Allan Poe ' has his certain place in the history of literature. But he is known to have signed himself Edgar Allan Poe only twice in his life. So much lies behind this rather enigmatic fact that I can do little more than touch upon this brilliant erratic man and his work.

An anthropologist's reactions by Max Gluckman
Professor of Social Anthropology In the University of Manchester
Professor Gluckman marks the contrast between the historian's broad description of a developing society and the anthropologist's search for ' a complex of interdependent regularities in economy, social relations, laws, beliefs and ideas.'

A programme on the ideas amd work of a development group
Speakers: STIRRAT JOHNSON-MARSHALL, architect, for several years Chief Architect to the Ministry of Education, and DEREK MORRELL , civil servant, Head of the Ministry of Education Architects and Building Branch.
' Development groups' are a new thing in public life and contribute in an unobtrusive way to bridging the gap between different forms of skill and experience. Their prototype, created in 1948 inside the Ministry of Education's Architects and Building Branch, has had an influence stretching beyond its own field of school building.
The second in a group of programmes on aspects of public architecture in Britain
