Gothic Herts is the home of a new reading group based at the University of Hertfordshire. It comprises undergraduate, postgraduate and research students and is dedicated to all things Gothic:
We read Gothic-related material such as journal articles, poetry and books, and meet online each month to discuss these. We also use this web platform to continue our discussions and share our ideas with the wider world.
The group is run by two of OGOM’s doctoral students, Jane Gill and Rebecca Greef. The first session is on 22nd October and the text is up on the site. This promises to be a useful and fun forum for all Gothic enthusiasts. We strongly recommend that you go along and discuss all things gothicky in an informative, supportive and fun environment!!
If you are interested in finding out more, please email the organisers on gothicherts@outlook.com and browse the Gothic Herts website
