-
I have a great interest in the history of the cinema. I read extensively in English literature, especially the nineteenth-century novel. One of my main interests is the area of modern novels set in the ancient world. One of my favorite authors in this area is Harry Sidebottom, whose novels on Roman emperors in the third century are both meticulously researched and very well written.
