About us

Join the University of Plymouth for the last talk in the Women in History Lecture Series, drawing on the latest research in history, English, and cultural studies.

Tonight's talk is on 'Eliza Parsons in the 1790s: Plymouth's 'horrid' gothic novelist'. The speaker is Dr Karen Morton.

The works of Plymouth-born Eliza Parsons are now mostly found only in specialist libraries, but, between 1790 and 1807, she was a prolific writer in a number of genres, including the Gothic and novels of contemporary manners. Forced by circumstances to write for a living, she wrote two of the seven 'Horrid' novels recommended by Isabella Thorpe to Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey.

Come and discover what Jane Austen knew that we've forgotten!
