Online Event: Elizabeth Gaskell V Anne Brontë – Monsters and Madmen

Join us this Halloween for a captivating online exploration of the Gothic themes in the works of Elizabeth Gaskell and Anne Brontë! 🎃📚

In the haunting shadows of 19th-century domestic life, these two groundbreaking authors used the Gothic genre to scrutinize the powerful and often abusive men of their time. How do their stories, like Gaskell's The Old Nurse’s Story and Brontë's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, reflect the real monsters lurking in Victorian society?

Event Highlights:

• Speaker: Dr. Amy L. Montz – Professor of English Literature, University of Southern Indiana, USA.
• Speaker: Andrew Stodolny – Education Officer, Brontë Parsonage Museum.

Be prepared for an insightful discussion that goes beyond mere ghost stories, digging deep into issues of power, abuse, and the quest for independence in a patriarchal society.

🗓 Date & Time:
Wednesday, 21 October, 19:00 - 20:00 (GMT)
