As always, Simon Thurley presents a fascinating angle on a familiar historical narrative via architecture. He is a superb detective with an insatiable curiosity about details that most would pass over unnoticed, and he manages to reveal the significance that, like the scarlet pimpernel, is hidden in plain sight. His speaking manner energetically imparts drama and evokes his own curiosity in his viewers - the rare talents of a true teacher. -Admiring fan here in Massachusetts.
Thanks 4 the vid :-) Once they fortified the grain they would have set about causing a need for scarcity as a means of increasing demand and raising the price...Society will always improve; especially as people become self sufficient..
Gresham had really done a marvellous job of bringing absolutely engaging lectures to a broad audience. So grateful for these gems of scholarly work
