After a highly entertaining talk back in January on Edwardian Anarchism, Clive Bloom returns to the Cowley Club to present the recently published second edition of his book 'Violent London'. Clive is Emeritus Professor of English and American Studies at the University of Middlesex.

"Almost as soon as it was built, London suffered the first of many acts of violent protest, when Boudica and her followers set fire to the city in AD 60. Ever since, the capital’s streets have been a forum for popular insurrection. Covering nearly 2,000 years of political protest, this is a riveting alternative history of past and present conflict."

Wednesday November 10 19.00
This event is free and open to members and their guests.
