Portsmouth book Festival: (Re)discovering lost voices of the past

wednesday 4 march 2020, 7.00-8.00 pm

How does creating lost voices challenge and expand our understanding of historical events?  

In this event on Unheard Voices, Miranda Gold and Alice Jolly discuss how illuminating lost corners of history and allowing the unseen – those on the periphery of our history - to speak encourages us to question the mainstream historical narrative. Who bears witness to these life-changing moments for those voices so often unheard, if not the reader themselves?
