Good evening, I am Michael and live in Brighton. I am interested in the history of the 17th century. Also try to get up to Worcester when I can, and have visited Fort Royal and The Commandery Museum a number of times.
I run a blog about 17th century war and literature called 'A Burnt Ship' : Particularly keen to look find references to the Battles of Dunbar and Worcester in poetry and fiction, including the experiences of the Scottish prisoners. Regards

Hi Michael,
You may like to look at our free FutureLearn course Archaeology and the Battle of Dunbar 1650: From the Scottish Battlefield to the New World. It has a section in Week 6 on The past in the present which looks at the representation of the Battle of Dunbar and the prisoners in stories, songs, films etc. https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/battle-of-dunbar-1650

Are you interested in 17th century references in literature or also in recent historical books? There are several recently published accounts by descendants of the SPOW. Teresa
