A Brontë Weekend

This is the fourth consecutive Brontë weekend organised by our Group in Brussels around the date of Charlotte Brontë's birthday (21 April). As usual there are various events taking place over the weekend. The theme this weekend is Brontë biographies. 2010 is the bicentenary year of the birth of Charlotte Brontë's first and most famous biographer, Elizabeth Gaskell. We have organised a talk on her by Prof. Angus Easson, who has edited Mrs Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Brontë for Oxford World's Classics, and, in complete contrast, a meeting with writer Jude Morgan whose fictional biography of the Brontës, The Taste of Sorrow, came out in 2009. Jude Morgan is the author of many works of historical fiction including Passion, inspired by the lives of the Romantic poets Byron, Shelley and Keats. N.B. Please note that it is essential to register for all the events. To do so please send an email to Helen MacEwan specifying which events you wish to attend (helen.macewan@ec.europa.eu).
