Refresh of the Book Box: Historical Fiction

In this masterclass on how an appreciation of art can help us lead fuller lives, Will Gompertz takes us into the minds and work of thirty-one astounding artists. Each has their own unique way of seeing: with their help, we learn how to expand our own vision of life and its endless possibilities – how to look, feel and think more clearly. Don’t miss Will’s lecture at Teddies this Thursday!

From Viking raiders to 19th-century Paris, the splendour of Renaissance Italy to the trenches of WWI, historical fiction transports us back to another time - and shows us not only how different things were in the past, but also how similar we are to those who lived fifty, a hundred, or even a thousand years ago!
