The Brontë Sisters: Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Agnes Grey & more

Explore the lives of the Brontë Sisters and their enduring impact on the literary world. Followed by Q&A.

Three sisters. One parsonage. A literary revolution that reshaped fiction forever.

From the windswept moorlands of Wuthering Heights to the fierce moral independence of Jane Eyre, and bold, ahead-of-its-time realism of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, this talk explores how Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, and Anne Brontë transformed personal experience into groundbreaking literature.

Drawing on their letters and lives in Haworth, uncover the radical ideas about gender, class, morality and artistic ambition that challenged Victorian expectations – and still resonate today.
