À propos de cet audio

Powered flight. Votes for women. Human sexuality. Mass migration. The psychology of dreams. The magic of the movies. Spies and detectives. Welcome to Stephen Fry’s Edwardian Secrets.

Perhaps thanks to TV period dramas, the popular imagination may picture the Edwardian era as an idyllic window between the wars, a time of manners and tea on the lawn. But below the surface lies a frenetic and often bizarre age where scientific leaps forward went hand in hand with belief in fairies, and secrets of sex, lies and murder simmered.

Across 12 episodes, in this sequel to his Victorian Secrets, Stephen Fry uncovers some of the startling and unexpected hidden histories of the Edwardians.

Who knew the Edwardians were so colourful in their lives. Several myths debunked about this time period indeed. Stephen Fry, as always, delivers yet another terrific series of unknown histories of the recent past.

Great listen.

The Victorian Secrets, Edwardian Secrets and Secrets of the Roaring 20s are such entertaining listens. I really hope for some 30s, 40s, and more in the years to come.

Stephen Fry is unquestionably the best narrator there’s ever been.

I love this series
