Hilary Mantel, Rebecca Stott, Anna Whitelock & Malcolm Gaskill
A stellar panel of historians and historical novelists discuss the public’s insatiable appetite for historical narrative. Is there a false dichotomy between the writing of “real” history and historical fiction? What are the rules when novelists work with historical fact? Mantel and Stott represent the historical novelists, while Whitelock (Mary Tudor) and Gaskill (Witchfinders) take the side of the “proper” historians. A must for fiction and history lovers alike.
