For this episode, Red’s guest is the multi-talented author Rebecca Stott. Not only is she a prize-winning biographer and emeritus Professor of Literature, but she is also the author of three highly regarded works of historical fiction. Her latest novel, Dark Earth, transports the reader back to one of the most obscure periods of European history: the years following the Roman withdrawal from Britain. It’s an era that fascinates her, and, as we’ll hear, her research has taken her far beyond the library and museums. Join Rebecca and Red as they explore the so-called Dark Ages and learn how Rebecca’s upbringing in a cult led to her discovery of Darwin.
