In this fascinating interview, I have the privilege of sitting down with Prof. Yvonne Korshak, a distinguished historian and accomplished writer, to delve into the captivating world of her latest masterpiece, “Pericles and Aspasia.” This remarkable work of Historical fiction shines a brilliant light on the period preceding the Peloponnesian War in Athens. Instead of merely employing historical events as a distant backdrop, Prof. Korshak skillfully weaves them into the very fabric of her narrative.

Through “Pericles and Aspasia,” Yvonne Korshak paints a vivid tapestry of unfolding historical events, interwoven with the intricacies of personal and intimate interactions. It’s a perspective that transcends traditional history books, offering readers a glimpse into the emotional depth and human experience of that era.

Our conversation spans a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from the creative process behind crafting this book, to the intriguing interplay between history and fiction. We explore myriad historical elements and timeless themes, enriching our understanding of both the past and the power of storytelling.

For those seeking an immersive journey into the heart of ancient Athens, “Pericles and Aspasia” stands as an eloquent testament to Prof. Yvonne Korshak’s dedication to historical accuracy and her unparalleled storytelling prowess.
