Lucy Worsley (born 18 December 1973) is an English historian, author, curator and television presenter.[1]

Worsley is currently Joint Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces but is best known as a presenter of BBC television series on historical topics, including Elegance and Decadence: The Age of the Regency (2011), Harlots, Housewives and Heroines: A 17th Century History for Girls (2012), The First Georgians: The German Kings Who Made Britain (2014), A Very British Romance (2015), Lucy Worsley: Mozart’s London Odyssey (2016) and Six Wives with Lucy Worsley (2016).

Early life and education

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Worsley was born in Reading, Berkshire. Her father taught at Reading University, while her mother is a consultant in educational policy and practice. She has a younger brother.

Before going to university, Worsley attended St Bartholomew's School, Newbury and West Bridgford School, Nottingham. She read Ancient and Modern History at New College, Oxford, graduating in 1995 with a first-class BA honours degree.

Curator and academic

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Worsley began her career as a historic house curator at Milton Manor,[2] near Abingdon, in the summer of 1995.[3] From 1996 to 2002, she was an Inspector of Historic Buildings for English Heritage in the East Midlands region. During that time she studied the life of William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle and wrote the English Heritage guide to his home, Bolsover Castle. In 2001 she was awarded a DPhil from the University of Sussex for a thesis on The Architectural Patronage of William Cavendish, first Duke of Newcastle, 1593–1676.[4] The thesis was later developed into Worsley's book Cavalier: A Tale of Chivalry, Passion and Great Houses.[5]

During 2002–2003, she was Major Projects and Research Manager for Glasgow Museums[6][7] before becoming Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity responsible for maintaining the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace State Apartments, the Banqueting House in Whitehall and Kew Palace in Kew Gardens. She oversaw the £12 million refurbishment of the Kensington Palace state apartments and gardens.[8]

In 2005 she was elected a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research, University of London; she was also appointed visiting professor at Kingston University.[9]

Television programmes

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

In 2011 she presented the four-part television series Vorlage:Citation/make link exploring the history of British homes, from peasants' cottages to palaces; and the three-part series Vorlage:Citation/make link.

In 2012 she co-presented the three-part television series Antiques Uncovered, with antiques and collectibles expert Mark Hill,[10] and (broadcast at the same time) Harlots, Housewives and Heroines, a three-part series on the lives of women after the Civil War and the Restoration of Charles II.[11] Later that year she presented a documentary on Dorothy Hartley's Food in England as part of the BBC Four "Food and Drink" strand.

Her BBC series, A Very British Murder, examined the "morbid national obsession" with murder. The series looked at a number of cases from the 19th century, beginning with the Ratcliff Highway murders which gained national attention in 1811, the Red Barn Murder of 1826 and the "Bermondsey Horror" case of Frederick and Maria Manning in 1849.[12][13]

In 2014, the three-part series The First Georgians: The German Kings Who Made Britain explored the contributions of the German-born kings George I and George II. The series explained why the Hanoverian George I came to be chosen as a British monarch, how he was succeeded by his very different son George II and why, without either, the current United Kingdom would likely be a very different place. The series emphasises the positive influence of these kings whilst showing the flaws in each. A Very British Romance, a three-part series for BBC Four, was based on the romantic novels to uncover the forces shaping our very British happily ever after and how our feelings have been affected by social, political and cultural ideas.[14]

In 2016, Worsley presented the three-part documentary Empire of the Tsars: Romanov Russia with Lucy Worsley in January and Lucy Worsley: Mozart's London Odyssey in June.[15] In September 2016, she was filming an upcoming series A Very British History for BBC Four.[16] In December she presented and appeared in dramatized accounts of the three-part BBC series "Six Wives with Lucy Worsley"

In 2014, BBC Books published her book, A Very British Murder, which was based on the series.[17] In April 2016, Worsley published her debut children's novel, Eliza Rose, about a young noble girl in a Tudor Court.[18][19]

Awards and honours

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

In February 2015, the Royal Television Society’s nominated Worsley (best presenter) and The First Georgians (best history programme) in its annual awards.[20]

In July 2015, she was made an honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Sussex (where she completed her doctorate).[21]

Worsley lives in Southwark[22] by the River Thames in south London with her husband, the architect Mark Hines,[1] whom she married in November 2011.[23] With reference to having children, Worsley says she has been "educated out of normal reproductive function".[24] She later said her statement had been "misinterpreted and sounded darker than I'd intended."[25]

As a TV presenter, she is known for having a rhotacism, a minor speech impediment[1] which affects her pronunciation of "r". When she made the move from BBC Four to BBC Two for the series Fit to Rule: How Royal Illness Changed History, she worked with a speech and language therapist to help with her pronunciation, but to no avail.[26]

In her teens, Worsley represented Berkshire at cross country running and, as a pastime, is still a keen participant in the sport.[27]
