Who is Alice Loxton?

Alice Loxton is a British historian, author and broadcaster, and one of the most visible faces of a generation determined to take history far beyond the seminar room. She has built a following of more than three million across social media, where her educational videos on history, heritage and art have made the past feel urgent, entertaining and worth arguing about.

That reach is not a gimmick; it is the point. Historians have always written for the public, but Loxton belongs to a cohort fluent in the platforms where new audiences actually spend their time, and her work as an author carries that same accessibility onto the page – history with the dust blown off, but the substance intact.

Alice Loxton in audiobooks

Eleanor is the Loxton title in our catalogue, and it carries the qualities that built her audience: a historian’s grounding delivered with a broadcaster’s instinct for what makes the past feel alive. History told this way is ideally suited to audio – narrative first, with dates serving the story rather than smothering it. For UK listeners who want their history engaging without being flimsy, Loxton represents the best of the new school of public historians, and this is a natural place to make her acquaintance.
