Brontës Season

A Season on the Writing of the Brontës

Join us for a season of six lectures and seminars, live online, on the writings of three great English writers of the early nineteenth century: Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë. We study four of their powerful novels, plus the poetry of Emily Brontë and a selection of the extraordinary childhood writings of the sisters and their brother Branwell. You can book as many individual lectures as you like, or you can book the whole season at a discount. This offer closes on 4 September 2026, before the Season starts.
