12/07/2023 @ 14:00 - 15:00
£5
Dr Serena Trowbridge is returning to the library on Wednesday 12th July at 2pm to give a tantalisingly titled talk: Pre-Raphaelite Mythbuster: Gossip, Scandal & Secrets.
Did Elizabeth Siddall’s hair really grow in her coffin?
Why did Effie Gray really divorce Ruskin?
Did Rossetti really seduce all his models?
Did Holman Hunt see gnomes?
Dr Serena Trowbridge, Reader in Victorian Literature at Birmingham City University & Chair of the Pre-Raphaelite Society, will look at the evidence & explore a number of myths surrounding the Victorian artists associated with the Pre-Raphaelites. She will use serious research to answer daft questions.
