Dan Gunn & Frances Wilson: The Legacy of Muriel Spark

With access to over 3,000 letters penned by Muriel Spark, distinguished professor Dan Gunn has spent five years decoding the enigmatic author while compiling The Letters of Muriel Spark. Meanwhile, journalist Frances Wilson's fascination with Spark led her to delve into the formative years of Edinburgh's daughter to write Electric Spark. Join them today as they discuss Spark's legacy and how they reframed her personal letters and archive for a public audience. Chaired by Calum Barnes.

Supported by the Dr David Summers Charitable Trust.
