Jacqueline du Pre And The Elgar Cello Concerto BBC Four 7.
Loosely based on the true story of celebrated English cellist Jacqueline du Pre, the production gives a powerful insight into an MS victim's struggle to come to terms with the condition.
In this "little feminist book" (5,667 verses) and catalogue of famous women in the manner of Boccaccio's De claris mulieribus and Christine de Pizan's Cite des dames, Jehan Du Pre describes an allegorical palace divided into thirteen loci, or places of memory: a basse court, a gallery, ten rooms, and a garden.
