Of Interest: The Written Word and Intellectual History

BBC Radio 4 is producing a series on the written word and how it shaped and changed human intellectual history. The series, hosted by Melvyn Bragg, can be heard in its entirety here.

To promote the series a short video is available on BBC News here, featuring beautiful images from the Gutenberg Bible, as well as a fascinating look at Sir Isaac Newton's student notes.

  1. Megan thanks again--love the video and am now listening to the C18 chunk of the BBC broadcast--hope to use both for my course Engl 355 Survey of Enlightenment.
