In Series 4, Episode 5 join me, Adam Z. Robinson, and my guest, Dr. Emily Vincent as we discuss 'The Giant Wistaria' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Dr Emily Vincent is a Deputy Associate Director of Research and an Honorary Fellow at the Centre for Nineteenth-Century Studies International, based at Durham University. Emily holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Birmingham. Her thesis explored how women navigate child loss in fin-de-siècle ghost stories by examining spiritualism and maternity in the supernatural works of Florence Marryat, Margaret Oliphant, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Emily also co-runs Gothica, an international interdisciplinary reading group on the Gothic.
