Historical Fiction: Love, Sex and Betrayal

Investigate our impulses through the ages with three acclaimed historical novelists: A L Berridge, Maeve Haran - who both left successful TV careers to become bestselling writers - and Karen Maitland, author of the bestselling debut The Company of Liars. Ripping through the reigns of King John, Louis XIII and Charles II, the subjects of their books share common themes which still control the world today. Find out what inspires, informs and fascinates three of the best practitioners of this increasingly popular genre.

Chaired by Professor David Finkelstein, Professor of Media and Print Culture at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.
