Robert Louis Stevenson Day) at Edinburgh Gothic for a series of scintillating talks on the Gothic. Vicki will be giving a talk entitled "Shirley Jackson and American Gothic fiction" which delves deeper into the medical humanities by examining Shirley Jackson’s critically understudied novel The Bird’s Nest and explores the ways in which dissociative personality disorder has been problematically conceptualised in Gothic terms, also with reference to Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde.
