Join author, art historian and broadcaster Lucinda Hawksley for a fascinating journey into the motivations behind her writing, as part of the WEA’s Purpose to Pen series.
Lucinda specialises in 19th‑ and early‑20th‑century art, literature and social history. An award‑winning travel writer and environmental advocate, she is also the great‑great‑great granddaughter of Charles and Catherine Dickens. Her books include The Mystery of Princess Louise, Lizzie Siddal, March, Women, March and Charles Dickens and His Circle.
In this event, Lucinda will discuss the intersections of biography, history and creativity - and why she continues to write about the people and stories that shaped our world.
