The History of the Metaphor

[Johnny Marr]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl

Not sure whether you can listen to this outside of Britain, but for anyone
who can access it and hasn't already done so this is a superb edition of In
Our Time (one of the very best radio programmes in the English language, as
far as I'm concerned) on the history of metaphor, how it developed from
Homer through to Shakespeare, the 18the century repudiation of it as
illusive and insubstantial, and the reinvention and revitalisation under
Dickens and the modernists. Enjoy.
