Boston's literary productivity is not dead, Howard Mumford Jones, professor of English, vigorously asserted last night in the opening of a new radio series, "The Boston Legend."
Jones will broadcast every Friday over station WMEX, under the auspices of the Lowell Institute cooperating with Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, and Tufts.
"The legend that Boston reached its cultural prime in the forties and fifties of the last century" has assumed "all the tediousness" of an old friend," Jones said.
Recordings of Professor Jones' Lowell Lecture series on "Boston as a Literary Center, 1850-1914" will furnish the broadcasting materials.
