The other alert comes from
Loughborough, where Dr. Jane MacKay (
an old acquaintance of BrontëBlog) gives a talk about Jane Eyre:

Loughborough Town Hall
Literature at Lunchtime
Charlotte Bronte's most famous novel Jane Eyre is, on one level, the archetypal 'Mills and Boon', with a plain and poor heroine getting the rich and charismatic Mr Rochester. On another level it is an elemental novel full of fire and air, and the flavour of the Wild West Yorkshire from which Charlotte sprang. Come and enjoy an introduction to Charlotte's life, and a novel that emerged from that life.
