A live recording of the Working Class Library podcast, exploring and reclaiming working-class people’s contribution to English literature.
About this Event

Join writer and editor Richard Benson (The Farm, The Valley) and Claire Malcolm (CEO of New Writing North) from the Working Class Library podcast as they seek to explore and reclaim working-class people’s contribution to English literature.

Their quest is to establish a new ‘canon’ of working-class books that tell a different story to the established British literary canon. For this live edition of the podcast and programmed especially for the inaugural year of the festival they will explore the working class credentials and perspectives of Bram Stoker’s classic, Dracula. They will be joined by special guest writer Adelle Stripe (Basenotes). The Working Class Library podcast is a venture of The Bee, a new magazine of writing by working class writers published by New Writing North.
