Nicholas Friend, Oxbridge maverick, has been carving a unique place in the field of British cultural and heritage education for thirty-five years. He lectures on a sweeping range of topics in arenas as diverse as galleries, crypts, museums, university classrooms, trains, buses, rooftops and in the rain perched on the prow of a boat. His lectures combine erudition with pure pedagogic pleasure and humour. Using a blend of new and old age technology, Nicholas weaves fact, figure, and historical evidence with innovative ideas and keen observation. His multi-media presentations use slides, film cuts, music, and recordings, which he peppers with dramatic readings from letters, diaries, short stories, novels and plays. Eschewing artificial boundaries between disciplines, he places art and architecture, music, poetry, and literature in the context of politics and economics, religious and secular belief, and science and mathematics. He is an inspired and inspiring teacher.
