In November this year as part of Jenny Brownrigg's project,
Romantic Vanguard, Mills and Boon author, Jessica Hart gave
a talk about her work and the popularity of the Mills and
Boon romance genre. On the following day she led an informal
writing workshop exploring how to plot a Mills and Boon. The
events took place in Blackhill at St Paul's Parish Church
Hall.

'Romantic Vanguard' invite
The Romantic Soul: "Dwelling on love... insanity
and death...emotionalism...emphasis on individuality...rejection
of drab reality...glimpses of transcendent loves...the need
to escape from ourselves.....a fabulous dream world"

Romantic Vanguard aims to seek out romance and to trace
the spirit of romanticism in the urban environment of Blackhill
and Provanmill. Romantic Vanguard has been shaped by
a series of conversations with individuals and groups during
this residency. Conversations have been with women of different
ages who live or work within the community boundaries. They
have ranged from a 15 year old goth, talking about her identity
and the importance of individuality, to the leader of the
local lunch club, talking about the representation of women
in novels. The outcome of Romantic Vanguard will be
a book, launched early next year.
