BBC John Steinbeck Voice of America 1080p HDTV x264 AC3 MVGroup

Melvyn Bragg travels from Oklahoma to California to examine the enduring legacy of the Nobel
Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. In novels such as The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men and
Cannery Row, Steinbeck gave voice to ordinary people who were battling poverty, drought and
homelessness. Travelling the famous Route 66 from the midwest to the Pacific coast, Melvyn assesses
how relevant Steinbeck's work is today. He visits the site of the 1930's dust bowl in Oklahoma; the
California orchards where bloody political battles were fought between migrant labourers and
growers; and the Monterey coastline where Steinbeck developed his ideas on ecology. Melvyn makes a
case for Steinbeck as one of the great voices of American literature.
