Amanda Collins: Gaskell’s Gothic Brontë – Fact, Fiction and Function

Dr Amanda Collins will discuss the Gothic myth of Haworth and the Brontës in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Life of Charlotte Brontë. She will argue that Gaskell drew on an established way of viewing the Brontës – one that had served to make sense of their original fiction, mysterious identities and tragic lives.

The ABA celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
