Many thanks to #ElizabethGaskellsHouse for a delightful morning on their new #CharlotteBrontë & #ElizabethGaskell Tour. It was a treat to get to explore this lovely #Victorian home as we heard stories about the special friendship between these two extraordinary #authors.

A superb online talk by associate professor @jendeavour.bsky.social who brilliantly covered the Gothic and ghostly tales of Elizabeth Gaskell.
