After ten years in the editorial chair Bob Duckett is handing over his style guides, pending lists and blue pencil to Amber M. Adams. Bob took over the ailing Transactions of the Brontë Society in 1996 and transformed it into a prestigious thrice-yearly journal handled by a leading academic publisher. An appearance in Brontë Studies is now much esteemed. “I am amazed at the deluge of potential articles I have to deal with,” Amber says.And now, the not so serious news :P.
Amber Adams retired recently from her post in the library of Queen's University, Belfast, and now lives in Calgary, Canada, but in this electronic age distance is no object. Apart from being an active member of the Brontë Society - speaking, writing and reviewing - Amber was co-editor of the Journal of Documentation until recently. This is a highly-respected journal in the information field. (Richard Wilcocks)
Susan Lester, proprietress of the business, explained that a certain book – an old copy of “Jane Eyre” brought to the house by a psychic who saw it in a Mountain City antique shop and felt it belonged there – regularly moves around the house.We rather think that this ghost will gladly approve of the inclusion of the ouija scene in the second episode of BBC's Jane Eyre :P.
The book, Lester said, initially moved from the front table to a windowsill upstairs, where a woman who once lived in the house is said to have sat and read as she awaited her suitors.
Carolyn Pruitt, Lester’s friend, searched for the book Monday but could not find it.
“When we don’t have anything to do, we’ll go on a scavenger hunt and look for the book,” she said. “It just moves from place to place.”
