18A DR JOAN ORMROD Myth, Fantasy & Modern Culture

Fantasy, prehistoric folk lore and fairy tales – from William Shakespeare to W.B. Yeats, Arthur Machen to Neil Gaiman, Wonder Woman to Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell – ancient myth (and its various creatures) have had a huge impact on the tales told throughout our literary and creative history.

Academic, broadcaster and expert on graphic novels and time travel (in the media!), Dr Joan Ormrod leads us through a fascinating and fantastical talk on the tales as old as time that have influenced the stories we read and watch today.
