Voices of the Powerless, Volume One

Voices of the Powerless, Volume One

In the first volume of an enthralling look back through British history, Melvyn Bragg selects six critical moments in the last 1,000 years and examines how the individual citizens of Britain were swayed by each great tide of events.

The Norman Conquest is his starting point, a time when William the Conqueror's 'harrying the North' affected the poor apprentice, the lowly ploughman and the humble shepherd. He goes on the look at the Peasants' Revolt in 1381 and the religious changes brought about by the Henry VIII's Reformation. The so-called 'Plantation' of Ulster, the Siege of Chester and the plague which ravaged Salisbury in 1627 are later stopping-off points in Bragg's journey, which also finds him traversing the country and speaking to historians and experts about the life of the ordinary citizen in each period.

These programmes were first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 from 25 July and 29 August 2002.
