Dominic’s Reviews > Black England: A Forgotten Georgian History > Status Update

I'm actually nearly finished, my ereader just gets confused by non fiction books. Anyway the point I came to make is that the racism spouted about black people in the 1700s sounds EXACTLY like Reform supporters today... Scary, disgusting and depressing

Definitely learning a lot, and this is very well written, I just read so slowly when I'm on tour and exhausted all the time!

I've had this on my ereader for a while after hearing about it on the You're Dead to Me podcast with Greg Jenner and also on the podcast Empire with Anita Anand and William Dalrymple. I have chosen to read it now because I am studying for a tour guide qualification and also the cover! I have recently seen the actual picture of Dido Belle (and Elizabeth Murray who isn't on the cover) in Scone Palace in Scotland!
