Discussion – Elizabeth Gaskell’s Short Fiction: ‘A Dark Night’s Work’
‘One little hour ago I was innocent of this man’s blood!’
Passion! Death! A buried body! And a dispute over the text with Charles Dickens!
Join Dr Diane Duffy for a lively discussion about one of Elizabeth Gaskell’s shorter works of fiction, A Dark Night’s Work. (This follows a previous discussion on 12 May)
Is this story, published by Dickens in 1863, a love story or crime fiction? Come along and give your opinion, or find out more about this tale of finely-observed psychological drama and the choices we make that can haunt us and those that we love.
