The Portico Library

Join Louis Glazzard for friendly writing workshop exploring class and identity in writing about folk - lore and people.

This first workshop begins with a look at how working class people are represented through dialect and other indicators in Charlotte Bronte's novel Shirley, then moves on to examine rural traditions.Thanks to National Lottery players.
