Event 283
Richard Holmes
This Long Pursuit
– Baillie Gifford Stage
“If our world is to be saved, we must understand it both scientifically and imaginatively,” writes the great biographer Richard Holmes in his new book – a kaleidoscope of stories and meditations in which he revisits 200 working notebooks and celebrates his beloved art of biography, calling it the vital “handshake across time, cultures, beliefs, disciplines and genders”. Holmes is the biographer of Coleridge and Shelley, and the author of Sidetracks, Footsteps and The Age of Wonder. He talks to Claire Armitstead.
