A free talk on Charlotte Brontë's remarkable friend
2017 marks the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Mary Taylor, one of Charlotte's closest friends. Thought to be the inspiration for Rose Yorke in
Shirley, Mary was politically and socially liberal, and chafed against the boundaries of Victorian femininity. Come along to our free talk, and discover more about this little-known Brontë acquaintance.
