Hello and welcome to the very last Resta's history of 2022 and Dominic. We are still in

Barry Brothers aren't we? We are. So in the previous episode we came to Barry Brothers

in the heart of London's West End, St James, to record an episode on the history of

Boos with Henry Jeffries, which was great. And he's now gone off to do whatever

one three days ago. That's the truth. We've been count out here.

Yeah, in the seven days. So here we are. And Dominic, at the beginning of the year, we

did an episode on 1922. We did a centenary of it. And we said that this was a truly historic

on 1922, which is it Kevin Jackson's book, I think it is largely focuses actually on modernism.

And 1922 is a cultural sort of hinge point. And I suppose the problem with that is that

the whole thing about modernism is that it's very, very obscure and only very few people

know that it's going on. So if there's an analogous, cultural experiment, I mean, we

won't have heard of it. We're not at the avant-garde, Tom. I think that's the, we're

not having that. I think I think I'm sure we talked about this in that podcast. There

was a sense that, you know, the age of Proust and Joyce and Picasso and Stravinsky, this
