| Famous Authors Series | ||
| Some knowledge of a writer's life and family background, the political or social values of the time and, most importantly, some visual reference points, can add greatly to the pleasure we get from reading their books. 'Famous Authors' is a series of documentary biographies, using film, archive documents, portraits, music and commentary. Each programme presents not only a factual outline of the writer's life, but also conveys a clear visual picture of the social and historical background to their writing. | ||
