SUMMARY:Now Then - A Biography of Yorkshire by Rick Broadbent
DESCRIPTION:Rick Broadbent\, an award-winning author and exiled Yorkshireman\, goes in search of the soul of England’s biggest county and produces an all-encompassing portrait of a place that has been victimised and stereotyped since the days of Williams the Conqueror. Incorporating social history\, memoir\, reportage and author interviews\, Now Then paints a picture of what it means to be from Yorkshire – both now and back then. \n\n\n\nThe evening will be a talk followed by a Q&A session and then a book signing.   \n\n\n\nWritten from the perspective of an exiled Yorkshireman this bestselling\, award-winning author returns to his native county to discover and reveal its soul. We all know the tropes – Geoffrey Boycott incarnate\, ferret-leggers and folk singers gambolling about Ilkley Moor without appropriate headgear – but why is Yorkshire God’s Own County? Exiled Yorkshireman Rick Broadbent sets out to find out whether Yorkshireness is something that can be summed up and whether it even matters in a shrinking world. Along the way he meets rock stars\, ramblers and rhubarb growers as he searches for answers and a decent cup of tea. \n\n\n\nNow Then is a biographical mosaic of a place that has been victimised and stereotyped since the days of William the Conqueror. Incorporating social history\, memoir and author interviews\, Now Then is not a hagiography. Broadbent visits the scenes of industrial neglect and forgotten tragedy\, as well as examining the truth about well-known Yorkshire figures and institutions. \n\n\n\nFeaturing Kes\, the Sheffield Outrages and the most controversial poem ever written\, as well as a heroic dog\, a lost albatross and a stuffed crocodile\, Now Then is an affectionate but unsparing look at a county\, its inhabitants and their flinty vowels. This is a funny\, wise and searching account of a place that claims to have given the world its first football club and England its last witch-burning. It does include cobbles\, trumpets and stiff-necked\, wilful obstinacy\, but it is also about ordinary Yorkshire and its extraordinary lives. \n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite
