PGR / ECR L19C Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series 2024-25
27 March 2025 – online (free)

Teaching the Long 19th Century Novel through Reader-Response Theory

The PGR/ECR Long Nineteenth Century Interdisciplinary Research Group is organised by volunteer PGRs and ECRs at Manchester Metropolitan University. It aims to foster inter-institutional and multi-faculty networking and offers platforms for its community to share the latest research on topics that have a focus in the long nineteenth century.

For our final seminar in the series, Mackenzie London shares how teaching Frankenstein (1818) and Jude the Obscure (1895) through reader-response practices can continue to advance academic discourse and personal reflection.
