Do repressive systems produce greater literature? George Steiner, Joseph Brodsky, Mary McCarthy 1982
Extract of a discussion chaired by the poet and critic, Al Alvarez. Entitled ‘Art - Repression and Freedom’.
Professor George Steiner argues that a greater literature is forged in the shadow of censorship, repression and persecution than in the freedom of the West, insisting that our libertarian, commercial world in fact corrupts writers and inhibits the writing of great literature. His views are countered by poet Joseph Brodsky and novelist Mary McCarthy. First 20 minutes of a 50 minute programme. The opening graphics make for a nice period piece.
Directed by David Crossman.
