Helen Carr & Lorna Hutson: Eras of Change

Join two authors unpicking the grand narratives that have birthed the image of the British Isles. Helen Carr uncovers the untold stories of the 14th-century Plantagenet era - through revolution, plague, and social change - in Sceptred Isle, while Lorna Hutson's England's Insular Imagining: The Elizabethan Erasure of Scotland uses the idea of a 'sceptred isle' as a jumping off point to examine the inconvenient reality of Scotland for Elizabethan England. Hear both authors in conversation today with Joyce McMillan.
