About this Event

Please join Liberal Arts at the University of Bristol for this public lecture, given by Dr Anthony Delaney.

Anthony is an award-winning historian, broadcaster, actor and presenter known for bringing compelling historical stories to life across page, screen, stage and audio. Originally from Kilkenny, Ireland, he trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and holds a PhD in 18th-century social and cultural history from the University of Exeter, where he is now an Honorary Fellow.

His first book, Queer Georgians traces the stories of people daring to challenge society's expectations, unearthing archives and court records to reveal the tragedies and the joys of queer life three centuries ago. Breathing new life into the forgotten and offering radical new interpretations of celebrated figures such as Anne Lister, Queer Georgians is an invitation to view our shared history in a whole new light.

The event will be followed by a wine reception. All welcome!
