Roy Porter talks to historian Simon Schama, whose account of the French Revolution won last year's NCR Book Award. Fascinated by the divisions between history, myth and fiction, his new book discusses the wildly different versions of two deaths - General Wolfe at the Battle of Quebec, and a Harvard doctor, who disappeared one November afternoon in 1849.
