Elizabeth Gaskell’s Gothic Tales
31 October, 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm
Get into the Halloween spirit and join us for a lunch-time talk on Elizabeth Gaskell’s gothic tales, with Gaskell Society committee member, Dr Diane Duffy.
Mysterious vanishings, eerie old buildings, windswept moors and ghostly goings-on: Elizabeth Gaskell’s goosebump-inducing gothic stories are a far cry from the gritty Manchester novels with which she’s often associated.
Come along at 1pm to find out more about these dark and decidedly spine-tingling tales.
As you’ll appreciate, arrangements can change, so please be sure to check details before you leave home.
