From fellowship to apologies

by Eye 4th April 2014

The fellowship of Friends

A source of consolation and strength, a deep personal bond… what does friendship mean to you?

In Five hundred years of friendship, a new series on BBC Radio 4, the history of the meaning and experience of friendship is being explored by Thomas Dixon, director of the Queen Mary Centre for the History of the Emotions.

In episode three, broadcast on 26 March, Thomas takes up the story during the civil war, with Quakers featuring prominently throughout.
