An online lecture by Dr Laura Eastlake
Senior Lecturer in English Literature, Edge Hill University
From Victorian villain to modern-day boyfriend material, and from femme fatale to feminist warrior, the vampire has been resurrected in many forms and used to embody some of our most pressing cultural questions.
In this talk, Dr Laura Eastlake explores our fascination with the vampire and recommends some of her favourite books and films to sink your teeth into this spooky season.
Booking is required before 4pm on 6 October. The talk will be presented using Zoom. You will receive an email invitation to join a Zoom meeting just after 4pm on 6 October.
