Carola Hicks
Non-fiction (Academic and Educational)
Biography
Carola Hicks teaches art history at the University of Cambridge, where she is a Fellow of Newnham College. She studied Archaeology and Art History at the University of Edinburgh, where she also did her PhD on medieval animal ornament. After stints at the Reader's Digest and Woman's Own, she worked at the British Museum on the publication of the Sutton Hoo Ship Burial, and then became a researcher in the House of Commons Library.
She returned to university life to take up a Research Fellowship at Cambridge, then was the Curator of the Stained Glass Museum at Ely for a few years. Having edited and written various academic books and articles, she is now more interested in writing for a wider audience in an accessible style that combines history, biography and art history. Her next book for Chatto & Windus will look at how the Tudor kings were involved with the making of the great stained glass windows of King's College Chapel.
