Welcome to this episode in the fifth series of Local History Matters, the podcast run by the British Association for Local History (BALH) to highlight hidden local histories. In this series, we will be discussing with researchers how they got into their field of study, and what their topic can tell us about local history more generally.
In this episode, Dr Erica Canela shares more about her latest book Zealous: A Darker Side of the Early Quakers.
Dr Erica Canela is an award-winning historian, writer and editor. Specialising in 17th Century history, her research focuses on the British Civil Wars and early Quakers in England.
