: Civilisation: 11: The Worship of Nature
A personal view by Kenneth Clark'For almost a thousand years the chief creative force in western civilisation was Christianity. Then, in about the year 1730, it suddenly declined - in intellectual society practically disappeared. Of course it left a vacuum. People concocted a new belief - a belief in the divinity of nature.' Kenneth Clark' examination of this new force takes him to Tintern Abbey and the Lake District, to the Swiss Alps and the ideas of Rousseau - and to the landscapes of Turner and Constable.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
