Roger Scruton, WG Sebald, Travelling Light, Being Scottish

Available for over a year

Matthew Sweet talks to Roger Scruton about his new book, Green Philosophy. He argues that conservatism is far better suited to tackle environmental problems than either liberalism or socialism. W G Sebald is a writer whose reputation in Britain has soared to almost cult like status since his death in 2001. With the release of a new documentary, Amanda Hopkinson and Kevin Jackson discuss his legacy. Susannah Clapp is here with a first night review of Nicholas Wright's new play, Travelling Light, which stars Antony Sher as a film director looking back at his childhood. And, as the debate over Scottish Independence continues we consider the notion of being Scottish.
