Gothics vs Romantics: A Literary Duel

5 Jul 2025

14:30 - 15:30

University of Bradford

Step into the shadows or bask in the sublime as two powerhouse literary movements go head-to-head in this thrilling event.  

Representing the eerie allure of Gothic fiction, author Kat Dunn champions haunted halls, psychological torment, and supernatural suspense. On the other side, bestselling author Nicola Cornick flies the flag for Romantic literature, with its sweeping emotions, wild landscapes, and rebellious spirit. 

From ghostly ruins to poetic rapture, join us as these genres clash and captivate. Which will win your heart or chill your spine? Gothic or Romantic? The choice is yours.
