Meet the Author: Thomas Legendre - Writing 'prehistorical' Historical Fiction: Finding Ourselves In the Past

Thomas Legendre takes us on a journey to Kilmartin Glen, Scotland, exploring prehistoric landscapes through fictional writing. 

How do these landscapes and their layered (pre)histories become vivid or ‘alive’ to us?

How does the past become present, and the present past? 

Thomas is an Assistant Professor in the School of English.
His work includes the novels The Burning, Spring Fever, a radio drama entitled 'Dream Repair', and 'Half Life', a site-specific play performed at Kilmartin Glen, Scotland. His novel Keeping Time involves (pre)history, music, and time travel.
