Patrick Joyce – one of Britain's leading social historians, and Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Manchester – celebrates the paperback release of 'Remembering Peasants': a landmark history of the lost world of peasants and all it has to teach us.

In this new history of peasantry, we discover a rich and complex culture of traditions, songs, celebrations and revolts, across Europe from the plains of Poland to the farmsteads and villages of Italy and Ireland, through the nineteenth century to the present day. Written with exquisite care, Joyce weaves remarkable individual stories, including those of his own Irish family, and looks at how peasant life has been remembered – and misremembered – in contemporary culture.

Patrick is joined by poet and fellow UoM professor John McAuliffe. The pair will be discussing Patrick's work and answering audience questions, followed by a signing.

Price: £5 (£13 including copy of book)
