第一集 第一战之后,随着英国盘算到了战争的毁灭性,以及帝国的衰亡,人们在战间期萌发出了自我怀疑与意识形态危机,这使英国小说界发生了变革。在此期间,一些最为伟大与创新的英国现代小说作品横空出世,它们从此主宰了小说界的命运与财富,永垂不朽。 第二集 第二次世界大战的尾声迎来了原子时代——那个威斯坦·休·奥登杜撰出的焦虑年代已然来临。大屠杀与蘑菇云霸占了当时人们的情感,随着政治局势的恶化,焦虑、惊骇与惶恐“世界末日大战可能爆发”的情绪日益强烈。新一代的小说作家们身负重任,将遭遇并表达出这个时代。 第三集 最后探索了70至80年代——这段时期诚如安吉拉·卡特所示,鉴于当时的风俗观念无时不刻不被质疑着,确是“没有什么是神圣的”。由于英国小说猛然成了众人瞩目的焦点,小说家们无疑站在了一场新革命的最前线。作为挑衅的使者们,他们改变了文学思潮,根深蒂固。

In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft. In 1597 King James VI of Scotland published 'Daemonology', a handbook on how to recognise and destroy, witches. The book explored the threat that 'those Detestable slaves of the Devil', posed to James himself. It fuelled waves of witch hunting throughout Britain. The legacy of James' 'Daemonology' continued throughout the 17th century, and led to the torture and execution of hundreds of women in a series of infamous witch trials. No-one knows exactly how many men and women died in these trials, such as the Pendle trial of 1612, or how many others were killed in cases that never came to court. The documentary reveals the purges in many areas of Britain drew directly on King James' book. Also for the first time, remarkable new archaeological evidence from Cornwall, suggests that witchcraft was actively practiced for centuries, even during the most intense periods of witch-hunting. Experimental archaeologist Jacqui Wood has excavated strange pits lined with swan's feathers, and filled with animal skins and human remains. She believes the pits were ritual offerings inspired by witchcraft beliefs.
