Conversations with... Clare Hunter

Clare Hunter talks about and reads from her book, Embroidering Her Truth: Mary, Queen of Scots and the Language of Power, with Loretta Mulholland. The Q & A session touched on subjectivity in history writing and fiction, and also researcher subjectivity in the composition process; Clare’s influences and her learning from other kinds of genres to think about how to put her book together; on absences in the archive and the writer/researcher as being a kind of detective.
