Join Fellow English Enthusiasts at an Expedition to the Rosenbach

Join professor Megan Quigley for an afternoon at the renowned Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia to view a new exhibition, “Gothic Monsters / Modern Science,” on Frankenstein and Dracula. The exhibition explores the creation of two of history’s most memorable monsters. In honor of the bicentennial of the publication of Frankenstein, handwritten pages of Mary Shelley’s groundbreaking novel will be displayed alongside Bram Stoker’s personal notes for Dracula for the first time, accompanied by scientific and medical works from the 19th century to the present.

The outing will take place on Saturday, October 21 from 12:00-2:00 pm. Meet at the Rosenbach  (2008-2010 Delancey Place in Philadelphia). If you’re not driving, take the SEPTA train from Villanova to Suburban Station and walk to the museum. Admission is $5.00.
