Her debut bestselling history book, UPROAR!, was released in March 2023, which shines a light on satirical printmakers of the late Georgian period. UPROAR! has enjoyed critical acclaim for combining scholarship with an entertaining writing style (which in turn has opened up this subject to a much wider audience). To promote UPROAR! Alice is speaking at many different events, including the Hay Festival, Oxford Literary Festival, Chalke Valley History Festival and Cheltenham Literary Festival.
