Professor Corinne Fowler (Leicester) will speak about her forthcoming
book The Countryside: Ten Walks Through Colonial Britain (Penguin
Allen Lane, 2023). The book journeys through Scotland, England and
Wales to explore the unique colonial histories of ten rural locations.
The talk focuses on three of these walks, through Dolgellau, Norfolk
and Cornwall. These routes reveal the links between wool and
enslavement, enclosure and slave-ownership and copper, steam and sugar
plantations. To understand what specific rural landscapes and
histories mean to local people today, Corinne walked these routes with
companions who have ancestral connections to the British Empire.
