Season 2, Episode 3 – Christopher D. Stanley

Episode 3 of History Through Fiction: The Podcast features historian Christopher D. Stanley, author of the historical novel trilogy A Slave’s Story. We chat with Stanley about his travel research through the Greco-Roman world, the life of a slave in ancient Rome, and the differences between sharing history through fiction and nonfiction. We also talk with Stanley about the importance of history and how historical fiction can make history relatable to us today. As Stanley says, “a good historical novel can make us also ask us questions about our own world?”
