Join Corinne Fowler for a thought-provoking evening as we take a walk through the British countryside and the history of our small island.
Discussing her powerful new novel, Our Island Stories: Country Walks through Colonial Britain, we’ll explore the ways that the British Empire has transformed rural lives, for better and for worse.
From the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton, Fowler expertly connects local landscapes to global history, thoughtfully telling the stories of colonial rule often hidden behind the pastoral idylls of the British countryside.
Included in the collection is an East Anglian walk, which crosses the Norfolk Suffolk borders, from Bungay to Ditchingham.
Don't miss this fascinating collection which interrogates the British countryside, and our relationship to it, through a new lens.
