Toni Mount is a historian and author from Gravesend, Kent, England. She is most widely known as the author of non-fiction medieval history books including the best selling Everyday Life in Medieval London.[1] and the Sebastian Foxley series[2] of medieval murder mysteries.
Early life and education
Toni Mount was born in 1953 and was educated at Gravesend Grammar School for Girls (now Mayfield Grammar School).
Career, further and higher education
Mount completed her first degree from the Open University obtaining a BA with First-class honours.[citation needed]
She then obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Post Compulsory Education and Training (PGCE) from University of Greenwich. In 1999 she started teaching history to adults for the Workers' Educational Association[3] in West Wickham Kent, going on to run classes in Petts Wood, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Rochester, ultimately running classes independently in Rochester and Gravesend[4]. Mount also gives talks to groups and societies on a variety of subjects, the most popular being based on her 'Medieval Housewives' book[5] She researched the Great Fire of 1212.[6][7]
Her Master's degree (M.A. by research) from the University of Kent looks at a digitalised a medieval manuscript from The Wellcome Library in London[8].
Writing Career
Having self-published several books she sent an idea[9] to Amberley Books who subsequently published Everyday Life in Medieval London[10]. Amberley went on to publish several other titles by Mount including The Medieval Housewife[11]. A Year in the Life of Medieval England[12] (2016) and The World of Isaac Newton[13] (2020). In 2015 Amberley also published Dragon's Blood and Willow Bark: the mysteries of medieval medicine[14]. When the paperback was published in 2016 the name was changed to Medieval Medicine: Its Mysteries and Science although the eBook remains under the original title.
In 2015 she was interviewed by Robert Elms on BBC Radio[15] and started writing for Tudor Life Magazine[16] and created online courses[17] for the website medievalcourses.com[18]. Madeglobal Publishing also went on to publish[9] her Sebastian Foxley murder mystery novels[19]
