Christmas Literature
Join Anthony Burton for a talk about Christmas literature during the Victorian period. The Victorians boosted Christmas marketing, not least in the book trade. The most famous seasonal offering was Dickens’s Christmas Carol and Elizabeth Gaskell collaborated with Dickens in writing Christmas tales.
Seasonal refreshments will be on sale from 11-4pm in the Tea Room.
The talk is included in admission.
