To mark the 50th anniversary of the Wolfson History Prize, we partnered with BBC History Magazine’s History Extra podcast to hear from leading historians about how history writing has changed over time.
A series of four conversations, two of which were recorded with a live audience, cover some of the themes of books recognised by the prize over the past 50 years.
The podcasts explore how writing about the history of empires and global histories has changed, how history helps us understand the role religion has played in society, the connections between history and science, and how historians’ understanding of the Holocaust has developed over the decades.
