Civilisation by Jonathan Conlin

Civilisation by Jonathan Conlin

Kenneth Clark's Civilisation (1969), was a landmark documentary series, pioneering the 'presenter as hero' model. Jonathan Conlin draws on interviews with the original crew and archival research to reveal a series that combined scepticism towards traditional ideas of progress with an inclusive approach to its audience.

'The first of a new genre - a fascinating assessment of a television series made soon enough to record the intentions and experiences of its makers yet distant enough to assess its place in cultural history' - Sir David Attenborough 'Jonathan Conlin's succinct and elegant monograph describes the phenomenon in both width and depth...a fascinating account of the series' intellectual background.' - Rupert Christiansen, The Spectator

JONATHAN CONLIN is Lecturer in History at the University of Southampton, UK. He is the author of The Nation's Mantelpiece: A History of the National Gallery (Pallas Athene, 2006).
