Sunday Feature: A Poet in Bohemia

Series 1, episode 0

David Vaughan traces the journey of English poet Elizabeth Weston to Bohemia in the 16th century, where she made her name as one of the foremost writers of poetry of her age. David talks to a number of scholars both in the UK and in the Czech Republic about her life and work, including co-editor of the new edition Brenda Hosington, writer Benjamin Woolley, and Susan Reynolds, curator of the Czech and Slovak collections in the British Library. David also visits locations associated with the Weston or her family, including Trebon Castle in South Bohemia, Loretto Square and the church where she is buried in Prague, and her place of birth, Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire
