Gothic Heroines: A Loose Leaf Poetry Workshop

Join us in the Café for a writing workshop themed around Gothic heroines. Led by poet Jessica Sneddon, this relaxed creative writing workshop explores a cast of complex, wilful, intelligent and questioning Gothic heroines, and considers how Gothic writers created multi-faceted heroines that challenged gendered expectations and conventions of the time. We will read a selection of excerpts from Gothic novels and poems together as a starting point for your own creative work. There will be a range of writing prompts and no previous experience is necessary.
