Victorians: from Workhouses to Asylums
Talk
About this event
Join L C Winter for an in-depth exploration of Victorian society's approach to mental illness and poverty. The author discusses her research into 19th-century workhouses and asylums, which informed her debut novel Spider, Spider. This talk examines how the Victorians attempted to treat, manage and segregate the most vulnerable members of society, offering historical insight into attitudes toward mental health during this transformative period.
The event takes place as part of Mental Health Awareness Week and includes a question and answer session with Winter. Hosted at Nottingham Central Library, Room 4, Floor 2.
