  • Resumen

  • A podcast by Lucy Underwood about history, researching history, and the joy of finding diamonds when we search the archives for the dust of past lives. I aim to tell lively stories by seeking out the voices of the past, encoded in the archives, and letting them speak. My research mostly focuses on Tudor and Stuart England. I’m a historian and writer. My historical writing has appeared in various scholarly journals and books, while my first novel, an Elizabethan adventure titled ’The Guest of Night’, is published by EnRoute Books & Media (as Lucy Underwood-Healy) https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/guestofnight/ I completed my first degree at Oxford University (History and English, 2005) and postgraduate studies at Cambridge University (M.Phil 2008, Ph.D. 2012). I’m currently affiliated with the History Department at the University of Warwick.

    Ep 1:2 Lady Falkland According to Her Daughters: Seventeenth-century parenting, autism and reconciliation
    Jun 25 2024

    Elizabeth Cary, Lady Falkland, lived from 1586-1639. She was a writer and translator, was seen as eccentric, was a Catholic convert when it wasn't strictly legal - and may have been autistic. Her "Life", composed and preserved by her daughters, records her struggles to be an intellectual woman, a Catholic, and a mother - and their struggles to be daughters.
