New Writing North History & Classics October 2017

History & Classics events from New Writing North in October, full details below:

The Durham Book Festival programme is now live!
History and Classics
Durham Book Festival proudly presents events from a variety of writers inspired by History and the Classics.
From award-winning comedian and journalist, Viv Groskop’s self-help memoir inspired by the Russian classics, to Peter Snow and Ann MacMillan’s thrilling compilation of true war experiences from those who lived it.
Woman’s Hour presenter Dame Jenni Murray will present her account of the history of Britain through the achievements of 21 inspiring women, from Boadicea to Mary Quant. While, Lyndall Gordon will introduce, Outsiders, which links the life stories of five female novelists, including Mary Shelley and Virginia Woolf.
We think there is an event for everyone to fully appreciate our history in this year’s programme.
