To mark the anniversary this month of Maria Branwell Brontë’s birth, we explore the life of the mother of genius from her first birthday in Penzance to her last in Haworth. This illustrated Thursday Talk includes how items in the Brontë collection reveal the legacy of this enigmatic lady of letters in the lives and works of her daughters – Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë.
This talk will be given by Sharon Wright – award-winning journalist, author of the best-selling Mother of the Brontës: The Life of Maria Branwell and Editor of Brontë Society Gazette. Sharon recently had the misspelled memorial to the Brontë sisters corrected in Westminster Abbey.
Please note, this ticket is only refundable if the event is cancelled, in which case we’ll contact you. We reserve the right to make changes to our programme. All information is correct at the time of booking.
