Before there was Wuthering Heights and Thornfield Hall, there was Gondal – and there was Angria.
As children in Haworth, the Brontë siblings dreamed up a series of imaginary worlds. Among them was Angria, a fantastical kingdom that maps directly on to the coast of West Africa.
Now, nearly 200 years on, Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture invited four emerging writers – Claire Govender and Kristina Diprose from Bradford, and Akorfa Dawson and Peggy Kere Osman from Ghana – to create four new stories inspired by Angria yet rooted in the writers’ own imaginations. Following residencies at Pa Gya! A Literary Festival in Accra and the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, this event offers you the opportunity to hear from the writers themselves, through sharing their work and their experiences of this collaboration between Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture, Brontë Parsonage Museum, and Writers Project of Ghana.
