Clare Jackson

Clare Jackson is a British historian, author, and Fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, specialising in seventeenth-century British and European history. Devil-Land is her acclaimed history of England during the period 1588-1688, seen through the astonished and often horrified eyes of foreign visitors and observers. The book won the Wolfson History Prize and reveals Elizabethan and Stuart England as a place far stranger and more violent than popular imagination suggests. Her audiobooks and books are fascinating listening and reading for history enthusiasts who want to see familiar periods of English history from an entirely fresh and surprising perspective.
