The Tudor period was my thing for a long time until I realised that I knew far too many of the courtiers and so on and thought I should branch outHere's one for the historical fiction and/or history non-fiction readers:
Is there any particular historical period you find yourself most returning to? Intentionally or not?
I've just started All His Spies by Stephen Alford, which is a biography of the Elizabethan spymaster Robert Cecil, and it's got me thinking about how many books set in/about the Tudor period I've read, without ever considering myself to have a special interest in the period
Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire is another (much longer!) period I often read about, but I think that stems from coming from the North East, where we have a lot of still present Roman history.
the Russian Revolution is one period im obsessed with. The world wars are a current interest and it turns out I know about them like we all do but also there’s so much I don’t know.
Also had a Roman phase and anything to do with the Royal Family.
I just bloody lovely history books which would be a huge shock to my history teacher from school!!
