SUMMARY:Berwick Literary Festival\, Mike Fraser lectures: History Through a Northumbrian Lens
DESCRIPTION:Book at http://berwickea.org/event/history-through-a-northumbrian-lens-part-two/ \nThis is a series of three one-hour lectures by Mike Fraser\, organised in association with Berwick Literary Festival. Patrons of the Festival are entitled to a 50% discount on tickets for the full course (see Tickets). This listing is for the full course; you can book individual lectures here. \nThe lectures are on Saturdays: Sept 4\, Sept 18 and Oct 2. \nOur earlier event\, History through a Northumbrian Lens: Part One looked at Sir William Beveridge\, Sir Edward Grey and Sir Charles Trevelyan. \nIn Part Two Mike will discuss John MacKay Wilson\, Lord Walter Runciman\, Thomas Burt and Mabel Philipson to similarly illuminate key issues in British history from electoral reform to the position of women in society. \nJohn MacKay Wilson\, best known for his Tales\, was also a successful Editor of the Berwick Advertiser. Discussion of his powerful editorials will provide a radical perspective on events at the time of the Great Reform Act 1832. \nLord Walter Runciman from Doxford Hall was a rather undistinguished politician when he was sent by Chamberlain to Czechoslovakia in August 1938\, but his subsequent report was crucial to the latter’s “Peace in our time” Munich agreement with Hitler. \nFinally\, Mike discusses the careers of two significant Northumbrian MPs. When Thomas Burt was elected as Liberal MP for Morpeth in 1874\, he was the first working class man to enter Parliament. In 1923 Mabel Philipson replaced her husband as MP for Berwick to become the third female MP to sit in the Commons. The first to be elected\, an Irish Nationalist\, had refused to take her seat. \nSept 4 – John MacKay Wilson \nSept 18 – Lord Walter Runciman \nOct 2 – Thomas Burt and Mabel Philipson \nMike will deliver illustrated talks and there will be ample time for debate about the contributions of these individuals during crucial periods of British history. \nLectures will be delivered via Zoom.
