An 2022-23 Historical Association event

“A Real hero is one who exhibits extraordinary bravery and spirit” writes the author in the introduction to his book, ‘Six of the Best’. People have made heroes of individuals in all societies throughout history. This talk explains how heroes emerge as exemplars of the customs and norms of their age. They may be imperfect individuals in terms of personal morals and behaviour but they inspired their contemporaries and subsequent generations.

HA meetings will be in the Birchall Hall, Queen’s College, Taunton, by kind permission of the Headmaster, Mr Julian Noad.

The lectures begin at 7.30pm (door open at 7.00 pm) and will finish at about 8.45pm.

Entry fee – £2 per lecture (free to students)
