Please join us for a research seminar by Dr Amy Montz, EACW Visiting Fulbright Scholar: 'Anatomy of the Author: Elizabeth Gaskell and the Female Gothic'.
The talk will take place on Wednesday 11 February, from 4–5 pm, in Sam Alex A1.01.
About the seminar
Through Elizabeth Gaskell and the female gothic, this seminar uses the literary theoretical school of creative criticism to explore how to set up an autobiographical survey of an author and a genre. The talk examines Gaskell’s gothic short stories alongside the speaker’s experience of writing this work in Manchester during a Fulbright Award, considering how the critic and the subject can come together in innovative ways.
