Essential Classics Friday - Rob Cowan with Suzannah Lipscomb This week's Essential Classics guest: Suzannah Lipscomb

Rob's guest this week is the historian and broadcaster, Suzannah Lipscomb. Suzannah's interest in history started at home growing up near the site of one of Henry VIII's former palaces, Nonsuch, and since then she's become a Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History at New College of the Humanities, London. She's written a number of books about Henry VIII and Tudor England, and has specialised in the study of women in this period. She's also a frequent broadcaster: most recently appearing on our screens in The Great Fire: In Real Time, she also co-wrote and co-presented Henry VIII and his Six Wives for Channel 5, and wrote and presented Hidden Killers for 麻豆约拍 Four. As well as discussing her work as an historian, Suzannah shares her passion for classical music, choosing a selection of her favourite works, by composers including Schubert, Beethoven, Berlioz.
