At a moment when Gothic stories continue to captivate audiences across film, television and literature – including recent adaptations of Wuthering Heights and Frankenstein – Wordsworth Grasmere presents a major new exhibition exploring the origins of the Gothic imagination.
Bringing together rare books, manuscripts and treasures from Wordsworth Grasmere’s internationally significant collection, including a first edition of Frankenstein, Ghost Story! Into the Gothic Imagination explores the beginnings of the haunting stories and fantastical ideas that laid the foundations for modern horror and fantasy fiction.
