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!
