Tullie Talk: Historical Pageants In Britain After The First World War

Edwardian Britain suffered from a severe bout of what contemporaries referred to as 'pageant fever'. Many historians have commented on this Edwardian enthusiasm, but fewer have explored the continuing popularity in the 1920s and 1930s after the First World War. This talk by Dr. Tom Hulme from Kings College London will look at the evolution of depictions of the war, and how it was seen as appropriate and suitable to commemorate the events of the conflict in dramatic form.

Talks are FREE, however booking is recommended.
