1h 10m
Join historian Anna Keay for an exploration of Britain’s unique republican era, a time when the monarchy was abolished, and the people were told their will was sovereign. Through the eyes of those who lived it, Keay delves into the character and contradictions of this remarkable period, offering a fresh look at how the spirit of the season endured through a time of political upheaval. From feasts to festivities, this lecture brings the 17th century to life.
Anna Keay is a writer, historian and curator, with a special interest in 17th-century British history. Since 2012 she has been Director of the Landmark Trust.
