Alice Loxton: Eighteen – A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives
Category: Arts
Duration: 00:37:09

Description: My guest on this week’s Book Club podcast is the historian Alice Loxton, whose new book is Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives. In it, she tells the story of young individuals as disparate as the Venerable Bede and Vivienne Westwood. On the podcast, she explains how she selected which characters to include and why – in a post-Rest is History world, where history is more exciting and accessible than ever – there is still a place for the fusty old historians.
