Brilliant + Bizarre Brontes

The short tragic lives of the Bronte sisters read like one of their gothic romances. Six motherless children living in isolation on the bleak Yorkshire moors; raised by their distant minister father and their strict aunt. A family doomed to be thwarted in love and to face early deaths, but destined to leave behind a body of literature still read and enjoyed today. Using anecdotes, analysis, and large doses of humor, Professor Elliot Engel gives new insights into the backgrounds, accomplishments, and lives of these great masters of English literature. Dinner at 6:30 pm. Lecture at 7:15 pm. Limited seating. RSVP early. Sold Out
