Multi award-winning author and historian William Dalrymple comes to the festival to share the remarkable story behind his latest multi-book release, The Company Quartet.
This sweeping and deeply-layered work utilises two decades of meticulous research to offer a glimpse behind the curtain at the rise and fall of the world’s first global corporate power, the East India Company, spanning four books and two hundred years of the history of the Indian sub-continent and the British Empire.
Join Dalrymple as he talks about this epic and resonant tale, and its continued relevance to the subcontinent and Britain of today.
