SUMMARY:Victorian Gothic – Haunted Houses and Night-time Terrors by Emma Liggins (online)
DESCRIPTION:This talk is one of a series of talks on Gaskell and the Gothic. \n\n\n\nCross the threshold into a world of flickering gaslight and cold stone. Step beyond the velvet curtains of the Victorian home to discover the era’s greatest Gothic writers\, from the atmospheric dread of Wuthering Heights to the suffocating psychology of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more about the psychological stories of terror written by Elizabeth Gaskell’s contemporaries where crumbling buildings reflect unravelling psyches. We’ll consider terrifying tales about ancestral curses\, haunted railways\, dead lovers and doomed servants by British and American authors including Charles Dickens\, Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Edgar Allan Poe. \n\n\n\nJoin speaker Dr Emma Liggins\, Co-Director of the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies\, as we unlock the doors to Victorian Gothic Fiction\, just in time for Halloween! \n\n\n\n‘It was absolutely superb – very informative and delivered with authority.’ Visitor to previous online event \n\n\n\nTickets £6 \n\n\n\nWednesday 28 October 2026\, 7-8pm
