One thing you (or your bloggers) may be able to help with.As we understand it, it can be about either Jane Eyre, the Brontës or their background, something you feel that ought to be featured in the information pages. It's a great opportunity to speak your mind concerning what you'd love to see in this kind of book.
We are putting together the information pages for the book, and wondered if there were any specific image that you felt to be iconic, or perhaps under used/rare that we should include?
Suggestions always welcomed.
As are ideas for topic heading for those pages.
For instance, with Macbeth we covered the real Mac Bethad, his family tree, Scotland in the 11th century, that sort of thing.
Hey there!
ReplyDeleteActually I think the latest version of Jane Eyre has become quite iconic.
Also Branwell's portrait of his sisters should definitely be there.
I think Haworth should be there, pictures or information. The parsonage too of course.
ReplyDeleteThe juvenilia has to be mentioned. It's a great way to connect with teenagers. As a matter of fact, the Brontës juvenilia is something different than modern fanfiction or role playing?
ReplyDeleteMention of the crucial stay in Brussels and M.Heger's (possible) artistic influences, unrequited love etc. - A muse?
ReplyDeleteMention relation of JE to her other novels
Childhood definitely - school experiences and premature deaths of siblings as influenced the Lowood portion of the book - Roe Head engraving?
Distaste for teaching/governess work
Some historical context for middle class women in UK at the time
Only known (possible) photo of Charlotte?
The drawing from one of Charlotte's letters where she compares herself to Ellen Nussey?
Thank you all for your suggestions! Do keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteTo the last person who left a comment: did you actually mean a Roe Head engraving or did you really have in mind one of those famous Cowan Bridge engravings? I'm guessing you probably did.
