A talk by Susan Dunne at Bradford Local Studies Library, on Tuesday 19th May at 11:30am.

Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) was a prolific Victorian novelist known for her social realism and vivid depictions of provincial life. She was also a biographer, her most famous biography being of her friend and fellow author Charlotte Bronte.

In this talk, Susan Dunne gives a fascinating insight into the way Elizabeth Gaskell portrayed Haworth and more widely Yorkshire in her work and how local people responded to this.
