Lifelong Learning Lectures: The Brontë's of Haworth
Guest speaker: Dr. Helen Heineman, President Emerita, Framingham State University
The genius of the Brontës lies in the closeness of their sisterhood and shared imaginative life, as well as in their unusual isolation and narrow experience. The most autobiographical of novelists, all the sisters tell stories of women’s struggles for independence and for emotional and intellectual satisfaction.
Their works also have decided bases in their time, the Victorian period, and place, the Yorkshire Moors. This talk presents an illustrated view of the biographical, historical, cultural, and geographic backgrounds of the Brontës and to the universality of their works, addressed first and last to “the unchanging human heart.”
