Michael Berkeley talks to historian Linda Colley, who is currently teaching at Princeton University.
Her books include a study of the Tory party in the early 18th century, the award-winning Britons: Forging the Nation, 1707-1837 and, most recently, The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh, the extraordinary story of an intrepid 18th century female traveller and her brushes with the Islamic world and slave trade.
Linda's musical choices reflect her own passions, such as works by Bach, Britten and Stravinsky, and also music she has encountered on her own travels while researching her books.

Forster in India: Sex, Books and Empire
EM Forster's personal passage to India was the key to both his great novel and his political radicalism. What drew this shy and retiring figure from British suburbia to the mysterious heart of a faraway subcontinent?
Taking a fresh look at the links between Forster's homosexuality, his critique of the Raj and his remarkably modern capacity for crossing racial and cultural borders, Zareer Masani rescues him from the stereotype of an old-maidish, closeted gay, writing tea-table novels.
