Novel Approaches: from academic history to historical fiction

Historical fiction is more popular and critically well received than ever before, and its relationship with academic history is of increasing interest to historians.  ‘Novel Approaches’ seeks to explore this phenomenon by bringing together a wide range of speakers, including academic and public historians, authors and publishers.

The virtual conference continued from where our winter conference left off and is now available as a resource and as a place for discussion and debate.
