NBF - Georgian Creativity and Artisty: Mad, Bad and Dangerous

Step into the glittering, shadowy world of 18th-century intrigue, creativity, and scandal as two of today’s most exciting historical fiction authors, Essie Fox and Laura Shepherd-Robinson, join Dr Tim Rideout at Newark Book Festival for a lively and illuminating conversation. From the opulent palazzos of Venice to the bustling streets of Georgian London, this event dives into the drama, deception, and artistic flair of a time when danger and beauty walked hand in hand. Essie Fox, bestselling author of The Fascination, returns with her new book, Dangerous—a bold reimagining of Lord Byron himself as a reluctant detective, embroiled in a deadly mystery amid the Venetian elite. Laura Shepherd-Robinson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Square of Sevens, presents her latest novel, The Art of a Lie. A book signing will follow the talk—don’t miss your chance to meet the authors and pick up a signed copy of your next favourite read!
