We have more information about the "Eyre apparent" exhibition that is currently going on at the The Rare Book School at the University of Virginia. As we posted before the exhibition takes place in the Rotunda at the University. It is open 9 am to 5 pm daily from November 7, 2005 until May 1, 2006.

On the RBS website you can find what appears to be a work-in-progress schedule of the day-long celebration of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre that is going to happen on Friday, 9 December. The events that will take place were already posted on Brontëana's blog. In this schedule we can find some more details. The films based on Jane Eyre that will be showed include: the 1934 Jane Eyre version with Colleen Moore, the classical one with Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles directed by Robert Stevenson, the 1983 BBC miniseries version (we don't know for sure if it's this one but it seems quite probable) and a curious spoof of the Charlotte Brontë's novel that was included in the the Saturday Night Live show (Classic literature comes to life as Jane Eyre (Rachel Dratch) watches helplessly as her employer, Mr. Rochester (Jude Law), sneaks off to the attic for sex. )

The schedule includes also tours of the Rare Book School collections led by RBS Founding Director and University Professor Terry Belanger and Gallery Tours led by John Buchtel and Barbara Heritage, the curators of the exhibition. The day will conclude with a lecture and a reception.
