Lord Clark - Seeing Through The Tweed
Richard Weight reassesses Kenneth Clark and his landmark Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV series, Civilisation, which, he argues, was the culmination of a career that reveals much about 20th-century Britain.
Kenneth Clark is remembered as a tweedy patrician who lectured on the arts from a position of immense privilege. But Richard Weight argues that Clark was in fact a toff with a democratic mission, and that the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Civilisation, first broadcast in 1969, was the culmination of a career that reveals much about 20th-century Britain.
