Whose history is it anyway?
David Kynaston and Amanda Vickery
Where kings and queens once held court in the telling of history, ordinary lives have become the fabric of our collective past.
Family Britain, the latest instalment of David
Kynaston's groundbreaking trilogy Tales of the New Jerusalem weaves a deeply textured tapestry of 50s Britain - from Butlins to Suez. From The Gentleman's Daughter to Behind Closed Doors, awardwinning author/broadcaster and Professor of Modern History, Royal Holloway, University of London Amanda Vickery has 'spent an entire career chiselling personal secrets out of neglected archives'. Join them as they unlock the intimate secrets of everyday Britain.
This event will be chaired by Steven Gale.
'Professor Kynaston is the most entertaining historian alive.'
