writers are never completely forgotten.
'Something Understood' - an Sunday radio programme on BBC
4 - woke me up this morning. To my surprise, some prose
written by one of the journalists I had been researching, was read
out.
An actor read a description an Egyptian dance that the journalist had described. This dance is contrasted with a description of a ballroom dance by Jane Austen.
This description might also be in Mayhew's London Labour and London Poor - vol 4. One of the journalist's sons collaborated with Mayhew in the writing of this book which is a study of sexual habits around the world - and in history. The journalist used his father's writing as a source.
'Something Understood' is repeated tonight at 11.30 so it might among someone's bedtime listening!
