Event Details

In recognition of Emily Bronte's 200th birthday, join us for a special presentation focusing on the lives and works of the fascinating Bronte family. Their written works include two of the most widely read books in English - Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.

We will discuss their inspiration, their love, lives, and trials of grief and loneliness, as well as their poetry, artwork, Charlotte's letters and Branwell's tragic life. The presentation is adapted from Karen Smith Kenyon's biography, The Bronte Family: Passionate Literary Geniuses.
