The Brontë Parsonage Blog publishes the appointed dates for the Brontë Society Weekend Conference 2006. The title of the Conference is The Brontës and their Background and the subjects that will be discussed are also listed already.

BRONTË SOCIETY WEEKEND CONFERENCE 2006
22 - 24 September

Stephen Whitehead - The Haworth the Brontës knew
Bob DuckettWhere did the Brontës get their books?
Ian EmbersonMilton, Bunyan and the Bible: classical influences on Charlotte

Elizabeth LeaverWhy the Brontës wrote as they did
Tom WinnifrithThe Brontës and their foreground: Religion and the Brontës
Brian WilkesThe two religions of Charlotte
Ian DewhirstThe Real Haworth: Myths and Anecdotes.

A visit to Shirley Country (very in vogue of late) is scheduled as well.

Plenty of time to wrap things around this event - don't miss it!

But if you would like to have your Brontë dose before September, don't forget that tomorrow February 1st the Parsonage reopens after its traditional closed-doors period. Along with the permanent exhibition, the Parsonage will be hosting two temporary ones:

Feb. 1 - Dec. 31 2006: Face to Face with Charlotte Brontë: This new exhibition will look at images of Charlotte Brontë; how she viewed herself and how others viewed her. A wide range of items will be on display including written accounts, portraits produced in Charlotte's own lifetime and modern tourist ephemera. Free on admission.

Feb. 1 - March 31 2007: A Brush with the Brontës: Special exhibition at the Brontë Parsonage Museum focusing on illustration and the Brontës. Free on admission.

Both of them extremely interesting! Looks like the Brontë Society have scheduled a great year :)
