Wilkie Collins Rambles
Beyond Railways
Presented by Dr Christopher Pittard

This talk looks at the Victorian sensation novelist Wilkie Collins, in particular his visit to Cornwall in 1850 with the artist Henry Branding, the notes from which he published the following year as Rambles Beyond Railways. Dr Pittard will cover Collins’ representation of Cornwall including his visits to St Michael’s Mount and Bodmin Moor.
