New Generation Thinker: Laurence Scott
Laurence Scott of King's College London explores the fascinating figure of the gothic heroine, exploring her evolution from early horror stories and in novels such as Mrs Dalloway.
Laurence Scott, one of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3's New Generation Thinkers, gives a talk on the fascinating figure of the gothic heroine, recorded at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival.
Swooning maidens crowd early horror stories, but these hunted heroines are also stalked through the pages of 20th Century novels such as Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and Iris Murdoch's The Unicorn. Laurence Scott explores the evolution of the gothic heroine.
This essay is recorded in front of an audience at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival 2011, which takes place at The Sage Gateshead 4 - 6 November. The New Generation Thinkers are winners of the inaugural talent scheme run by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to find the brightest academic minds in the arts and humanties with the potential to turn their ideas into fascinating broadcasts.
