Was Tudor and Stuart England really an island apart, or a crossroads of the wider world? Join author Nandini Das for a fresh perspective as she uncovers a richly connected past, where merchants, migrants, sailors and spies shaped a nation in the making. Beneath the familiar pageantry of monarchs and myth lies a vibrant, diverse society, alive with global exchange and unexpected encounters. From foreign artisans at court to travellers forging lives across continents, this talk reveals the overlooked individuals who challenge traditional ideas of what it meant to be ‘English’. Sweeping yet intimate, it’s a powerful reimagining of a pivotal era: one that invites us to see England not as isolated, but as deeply entwined with the wider world.
