Dr Louise Fenton gave this talk on 11th Feb 2021, she is an academic, writer, illustrator and cultural historian. Following her first degree in Illustration from Wolverhampton Polytechnic Louise has completed an MA in Illustration from the University of Wolverhampton. It was at this time that her interests moved towards the representations of marginalised cultures. She completed a PhD on the Representations of Vodou at the University of Warwick in 2010. Louise is now a senior lecturer in Contextual Studies. Recent research has been focused on the visual culture of witchcraft and curses and Louise is also working on a visual project, ‘Atmospheric Spaces Enchanted Places’.
Annie Palmer was a nineteenth century British woman who found herself in charge of Rose Hall, a plantation in Jamaica. She was reputed to have been a cruel and vicious mistress and was dubbed ‘The White Witch of Rose Hall’. It was alleged that she was taught Vodou in Haiti and took this knowledge with her to Jamaica, using it to control her slaves. Annie Palmer has permeated popular culture featuring in fiction and music, but it should be questioned whether the accusations are accurate or fair. There is a great deal of mystery about Annie Palmer. Dr Louise Fenton will discuss her research in order to uncover some of the facts around the life and alleged crimes of Annie Palmer and her legacy at Rose Hall, Jamaica. This is a fully illustrated talk.
