Lifelong Learning Lecture: Elizabeth Gaskell and the Perils of Biography

Guest speaker: Dr. Helen Heineman, President Emerita, Framingham State University

Tasked with telling the story of Charlotte Brontë’s tragic life, writer and friend Elizabeth Gaskell investigated, uncovering secrets more incredible than any fiction. Her book was so controversial it was banned within weeks. Ever since, historians have argued about how much of it is true. Mrs. Gaskell stipulated in her will that no one could write her own life story until all parties concerned had died. This lecture describes Mrs. Gaskell’s biography and assesses the truth of her representation.
