This exhibition explores 60 years of turbulence and innovation in Romantic-era Britain (1780-1840) through texts, paintings and artefacts.

Gothic Haunting from the 1790s to the Present

The condition of haunting is central to the gothic mode. Dr Matt Green, Associate Professor in the School of English, explores haunting and being haunted, discussing creative artists and writers from William Blake to Alan Moore in a survey of texts and narratives of the gothic tradition from its hey-day in the 1790s into the 21st century.

Part of the Romantic Facts and Fantasies exhibition programme.

Advance booking is required.
