The   22nd February 1979 issue of THE LISTENER.

For over sixty years THE LISTENER was the flagship for the BBC, during the great days of radio, reproducing radio talks & interviews, providing a platform for debate, covering the Arts, and discovering new poets - among them DYLAN THOMAS, W.H. AUDEN, SYLVIA PLATH, PHILIP LARKIN, SEAMUS HEANEY, TED HUGHES, CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD and STEPHEN SPENDER.  Its contributors ranged from Bertrand Russell, George Orwell, E.M.Forster, T.S.Eliot and Virginia Woolf to Enoch Powell, G.K. Chesterton and J.K. Galbraith. THE LISTENER provided an independent weekly voice in the days when THE SPECTATOR represented the Right and THE NEW STATESMAN, the Left. THE LISTENER was launched in 1929 and closed in 1991.

This  22nd February 1979 issue includes a 3pp interview with ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN; IRAN: AN ISLAMIC IDENTITY? BY Simon Dring; IN SEARCH OF THE DODO by HUGH BURNETT, ERNST GOMBRICH, FRITZ SPIEGL, THE VALLEY OF THE WRITERS by Frances Donnelly, THAT'S NOT FUNNY by Paul Gambaccini; a 2pp interview with SIR JOHN GIELGUD, etc
