This two-part series looks at the role played by the three monarchs, and their relationships with each other, in the outbreak of war, arguing that it is far greater than historians have traditionally believed.
Britain, is an island. Surrounded by a cold and unforgiving sea. For centuries it protected us from attack. But to prosper and thrive, we would need to do more than hide behind her salt water shield. Britain needed brave men, willing to venture out into the unknown and she needed good boats to take them there. I've spent my life at sea. Now I'm going to take passage on six boats that together, tell the story of modern Britain. Built for exploration, war, fishing, industry and our very survival. These are the boats which built Britain, and changed the way we live - forever.
第一集 第一战之后,随着英国盘算到了战争的毁灭性,以及帝国的衰亡,人们在战间期萌发出了自我怀疑与意识形态危机,这使英国小说界发生了变革。在此期间,一些最为伟大与创新的英国现代小说作品横空出世,它们从此主宰了小说界的命运与财富,永垂不朽。 第二集 第二次世界大战的尾声迎来了原子时代——那个威斯坦·休·奥登杜撰出的焦虑年代已然来临。大屠杀与蘑菇云霸占了当时人们的情感,随着政治局势的恶化,焦虑、惊骇与惶恐“世界末日大战可能爆发”的情绪日益强烈。新一代的小说作家们身负重任,将遭遇并表达出这个时代。 第三集 最后探索了70至80年代——这段时期诚如安吉拉·卡特所示,鉴于当时的风俗观念无时不刻不被质疑着,确是“没有什么是神圣的”。由于英国小说猛然成了众人瞩目的焦点,小说家们无疑站在了一场新革命的最前线。作为挑衅的使者们,他们改变了文学思潮,根深蒂固。

Poet Simon Armitage traces the evolution of the Arthurian legend through the literature of the medieval age and reveals that King Arthur is not the great national hero he is usually considered to be. He's a fickle and transitory character who was appropriated by the Normans to justify their conquest, he was cuckolded when French writers began adapting the story and it took Thomas Malory's masterpiece of English literature, Le Mort d'Arthur, to restore dignity and reclaim him as the national hero we know today.
