I’ve Never Read Elizabeth Gaskell…

The ‘I’ve Never Read Elizabeth Gaskell’ exhibition features work by three young writers Georgia Affonso, Princess Arinola Adegbite and Guruleen Kahlo, who completed a residency at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House, the home of the Victorian writer famous for writing ‘Cranford’ and ‘North and South’.

The exhibition, includes Guruleen’s short stories, Georgia’s play available in audio format, and poems by Salford Writer Princess Arinola Adegbite. The three writers (all aged under 30) were invited to spend time immersing themselves in Elizabeth Gaskell’s world and responding to her legacy in their own words.
