Hello! I’m the author of a number of biographies, some about people you’ll know (John Milton, Sir Walter Ralegh and William Shakespeare) and others about people you may not know - yet. I’m particularly proud of my feisty, feminist and accessible accounts of female creatives, including my most influential book, Sounds and Sweet Airs: The Forgotten Women of Classical Music (2016) and, more recently, Eve Bites Back: An Alternative History of English Literature. A long-time Oxford resident, I've held various posts at the University there, but the truth is that, although Oxford is home, I'm a traveller at heart – whether on night trains, slow boats, on foot or inside a sturdy vehicle complete with roof tent. When I can, I grab my notebooks and laptop and get the words down while discovering new parts of the world.
