At the intersection of broadcasting, literature, and public intellectual life, A Listener Anthology: August 1967–June 1970 stands as a remarkable time capsule of late 1960s British cultural thought, drawn from the pages of The Listener — the BBC's prestigious weekly journal that published essays, criticism, and commentary accompanying its radio and television programmes. Edited by the distinguished critic and academic Karl Miller, this volume gathers a compelling selection of writing from one of the most turbulent and creatively fertile periods of the twentieth century, presenting voices that shaped the era's debates on politics, the arts, science, and society. Miller, who served as literary editor of The Listener before going on to found the London Review of Books, brings a rigorous and discerning editorial eye to this collection, curating pieces that reflect both the breadth of the BBC's cultural ambition and the vitality of British intellectual discourse during the late 1960s. The anthology illuminates how public broadcasting once served as a genuine forum for serious ideas, offering readers a fascinating window into a world on the cusp of profound change — leaving one to wonder just how much of that world endures in the present day.
