Seriously, Rebecca Rideal is one of the most sound, modest, hardworking and impactful historians and we are lucky to have her. I shall call her HistFest Big Boss from now on. And yes, I’m on my way to my session!
Absolutely love the work Joshua James Knowles has done over the years to bring HistFest talks to life. This from the final, and very moving, session of today with Dr Lindsey Fitzharris & Jen Warren #HistFest2024
#TheFacemaker HistFest British Library. Fascinating discussion between author Dr Lindsey Fitzharris and doctor Jen Warren, covering Harold Gillies, his work, and the hospital; but also addressing the lived experience of disfigured WW1 soldiers (stigma, prejudice, isolation).
