Andrew Roberts shortlisted for the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography 2022

We are very pleased to announce that GEORGE III: THE LIFE AND REIGN OF BRITAIN’S MOST MISUNDERSTOOD MONARCH by Andrew Roberts has been shortlisted for the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography 2022.

The Prize was founded in 2003 in memory of the acclaimed biographer Elizabeth Longford by her granddaughter Flora Fraser, Chair of the Prize, and Peter Soros, Patron of the prize. It is awarded annually for a historical biography which, like Elizabeth Longford’s work, combines scholarship and narrative drive.

The judges, all of whom are distinguished historical biographers and historians, this year include Professor Roy Foster (Chair), Antonia Fraser, Chair Emerita and daughter of Elizabeth Longford, Flora Fraser, Richard Davenport-Hines and Professor Rana Mitter.

Of Andrew Roberts’ book, Chair of Judges Roy Foster writes: ‘Andrew Roberts robustly redefines George III as a committed, astute and unexpectedly liberal politician as well as a popular national leader…’

The winner will be announced on Monday 13 June 2022.
