Discover the origins of modern horror and fantasy fiction in this bewitching storytelling event. This time the theme is HEROINES: the ingénues, femme fatales, anti-villains and spirited young women of the early Gothic who inspired the famous heroines in modern pop culture.
The evening begins with a themed tour of Ghost Story! Into the Gothic Imagination. Find out about the iconic heroines in the books, manuscripts and artworks in the exhibition, including characters from works by Charlotte and Emily Brontë, Ann Radcliffe and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. After exploring the exhibition, gather around the hearth in Dove Cottage for performed readings from some of these spellbinding tales.
