English writer Cecil Woodham-Smith reads her essay They Stayed In Bed, about four famous people of the 19th century who spent a long time in bed as invalids -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Florence Nightingale, Charles Darwin and Harriett Martineau. Their ailments, real or imaginary, provided the means to escape the demands of Victorian society and made possible the climate of silence and solitude necessary for their creativity to flourish. <30mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
