Yesterday I spent half an hour talking to renowned historian Lady Antonia Fraser about her superb new book on the 1832 Reform Act. It’s called PERILOUS QUESTION: THE DRAMA OF THE GREAT REFORM BILL 1832. And it really is a dramatic page turner. I don’t know much about this period of history so was keen to see if it would grab my interest. The way she describes the main character in the first two chapters really entices the reader to stick with it. We also talked about her views on the teaching of history and much more besides. I hope you enjoy it.
