Melvyn Bragg
HEAR broadcaster and author Melvyn Bragg interviewed and on stage at the Ilkley Literature Festival.
Lord Bragg, perhaps best known as presenter of ITV’s long-running South Bank Show, is now the author of The Book of Books, an exploration of the radical impact of the King James Bible over the last 400 years.
From the fight for translation into English, to its importance as a source of propaganda in the English Civil War, its role as an inspiration for debates about democracy and justice and its profound effect on the English language.
