Dr Karen Smyth explores the challenges in telling stories that deal with emotions, politics and morality from a bygone age

<h3>ONLINE EVENT</h3><h2>Karen Smyth  (University of East Anglia and Co-Director of Paston Footprints) explores the challenges in telling the Paston stories that deal with emotions, politics and morality from a bygone age. Can a story that focuses on rising gentry and is buried in old archives, heraldry and tombs, engage modern society, and to what end: to entertain, educate, enrich, distract, reaffirm or reform the Pastons’ story. Or is it more about our story today? What happens when there is a mission to empower and immerse new audiences: is this development, reform or usurpation of the Paston letters?</h2><h3>Online attendees will receive the Zoom link the day before the talk.</h3><h3>This is a hybrid event, with a small in-person audience at The Archive Centre and an online audience.
