Reading the Brontës

Three different alerts from reading groups around the world for today, November 14:

From Wenlock Books, Shropshire, UK:

Villette by Charlotte Brontë
November 14th: 2pm and November 28th: 7pm 2007
12 High Street, Much Wenlock, Shropshire, TF13 6AA

A moving tale of repressed feelings and subjection borne with fortitude: the story of a woman's right to love and be loved.We're looking forward to seeing how our adult selves respond to this book, compared to the way we read it when we were teenagers. Our re-readings of Jane Eyre and Daphne du Maurier found us with very different feelings towards certain characters.

From the St. Thomas University, Minnesota:

Great Books Reading Group to discuss Jane Eyre
2115 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota

St. Thomas' Great Books Reading Group will discuss Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë (1816-1854), on Wednesday, Nov. 14.
