Join us with Sarah Dunant to mark the publication of her most recent novel, The Marchesa, in paperback.
The Marchesa vividly reimagines the life and influence of Isabella d’Este - one of the Renaissance’s most formidable women - depicting her as a pioneering art collector, astute political operator, and cultural powerhouse at the heart of a transformative era.
It is Renaissance history at its most vivid, an immersive, multi-layered experience that mixes historical fiction with biography, scholarship and art, images of both the people and the time.
From writing thrilling crime to scholarly articles through to presenting The Late Show, Sarah is one of our foremost cultural critics and commentators. Her books are international best-sellers and have been translated into thirty languages.
