- **Event Name**: Quakers: Faith, Fury and Rebellion with Dr Erica Canela
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: This talk explores the origins of Quakerism in the chaos of the mid-seventeenth century in England. Following the devastating civil wars, the population was left exhausted, traumatised, and living in a shattered landscape. In this context of ruin and uncertainty, a new religious movement emerged in the north of England. The early Quakers, driven by intense spiritual conviction, believed it was their duty to save souls at any cost. Their methods were seen by many as extreme and they repeatedly defied the authorities. 

Dr Canela’s talk challenges the idealised image of early Quakerism, revealing a group of believers whose fervour sometimes led to deeply troubling behaviour. They stood firm in their beliefs, often risking persecution and death. In doing so, they demonstrated how far people will go, especially in times of crisis, to seek safety, truth, and divine purpose. Even when it meant crossing the line between faith and fanaticism.

Dr. Erica Canela is an early modern social historian whose work brings the turbulent world of the seventeenth‑century vividly to life. Her research focuses on trauma, religious radicalism, and the lived experience of ordinary people caught in extraordinary upheaval. She is the author of Zealous: A Darker Side of the Early Quakers, published internationally in 2025.

A sought-after speaker and public historian, Erica has featured on American History Hit, Dan Snow’s History Hit, Not Just the Tudors, After Dark, History Rage, On the Record: The National Archives Podcast, History with Jackson, Talking Tudors, and other leading podcasts and festivals. She is known for her emotionally resonant approach to storytelling, blending archival precision with a deep commitment to recovering marginalised voices.
