Second of three events in partnership with Elizabeth Gaskell's House

A Talk by Libby Tempest
7-8pm Wednesday 11th August
 
This introductory talk explores the relationship between these two giants of 19th century literature. 
Charlotte Brontë and Elizabeth Gaskell were opposites in many ways, yet they were profoundly interested in each other's work and lives: their first meeting in the Lake District in 1850 led to a real friendship. Libby will explore letters, writings and contemporary accounts to try and discover what held the friendship between these two extraordinary women together. 
 
Part of a series of events by the Brontë Parsonage Museum in partnership with Elizabeth Gaskell’s House.
 
Tickets £4 / £3 concessions
 
This event will take place via zoom.  It is a live event and will not be recorded.

The Brontë Society is a registered charity and this event has been organised to raise funds for the Brontë Parsonage Museum at this challenging time. 

Full details of how to join the event will be sent once you have booked your place.  

Please note that many museum staff are still furloughed or working from home, so at times, there may not be anyone one in the office to take your call. Please email bookings@bronte.org.uk if you have any queries about this event. 

Thank you for your support.  We look forward to welcoming you to this zoom event soon!
