I will be giving a free online talk for the University of Hertfordshire’s Literature Research Seminar Series on Wed 17 April at 1.30. The concept of gothic has had an association with fairy from its inception; I’ll be exploring how we lost our fear of fairies and how they came to be associated with spirits of the dead in folklore. Are Fairies immortal or can they fade and die?
Joining details below. All welcome. Do come along and join in the discussion!
