Melvyn Bragg writes novels, cultural history and intellectual non-fiction, often connecting individual lives with larger changes in British society. His Cumbrian novels, including The Hired Man, follow working families through labour, war and social mobility, while Remember Me... turns more directly to love, marriage and memory. In non-fiction, 12 Books That Changed the World considers works ranging from Magna Carta to Darwin and the rules of association football, and The Adventure of English traces the development and spread of the English language. Bragg's prose is accessible and narrative-led, whether he is writing fiction or explaining ideas for a broad audience. His work fits British social fiction, cultural history and popular intellectual history, particularly for readers interested in how institutions and language enter ordinary lives. Read more Less
