Talking with... Professor Peter Marshall
Manage episode 464706642 series 3249596
This month we are delighted to welcome Professor Peter Marshall (University of Warwick) to the podcast. Peter was the President of the Ecclesiastical History Society in 2023-24. His main research interests focus on religious belief and practice in early modern Britain and Europe, particularly the cultural and political impact of the English Reformation.
He is the author of an astonishing number of books, including his most recent monograph on Orkney, entitledStorm's Edge: Life, Death and Magic in the Islands of Orkney (2024). In this episode, we talk about Orkney's history, the difficulties and joys of writing a microhistory, and take a deeper dive into early modern ghost stories (read his book Mother Leakey and the Bishop. A Ghost Story for a great example).
