Was Lord Byron really ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’? Was
Jane Austen ‘a narrow-gutted spinster’? We think we know literary figures from
history but are our views justified? Join PhD researchers Ruby Hawley-Sibbett and Amy Wilcockson for a
discussion of these two famous literary figures.
Their talk is part of Inspire’s History and Imagination programme – 15 to 19 March 2021 – a week-long celebration highlighting the reasons why we love to read about the past.
A discounted season ticket giving access to all the events is also available.
