AWW24: Mary Beard: Empress of Rome

Mary Beard with Jonty Claypole | Mary Beard, one
of the world’s most famous classicists, talks to Jonty Claypole
about bringing the past to life. As the author of over twenty
books and numerous television documentaries, Beard has fought to
keep the classics in the mainstream. Over her career, this has
involved breaking the glass ceiling, reinvigorating public
service broadcasting and embracing the power – as well as the
perils – of social media. She tells (almost) all about the highs
and lows of public intellectualism in the 21st century.
