Gallery
Description
A series of short lunchtime talks, intended for a general audience, delivered by specialists in Dracula, the Gothic and horror. A perfect distraction while you’re eating your lunch!
Has the music of Gothic novels and plays always been scary and unsettling? If not, what did it sound like and how did it affect its listeners? Dr Emma McEvoy considers some of the surprising music of early Gothic literature and explores the musical legacy of melodrama.
This talk is free, but you need to book in advance (it takes less than a minute). Details of how to join the talk will be emailed to you during the morning of 29 January.
This event is part of Dracula Returns to Derby, an AHRC-funded research project led by the University of Derby in partnership with Derby Museums, Derby Theatre, Bournemouth University and Sheffield Hallam University. A series of public workshops and events connect the city with the world’s most famous vampire: derby.ac.uk/dracula.
