With Charm, Wit and Timing

A recent talk by Colin Dexter in Somerset is commented in The Somerset Standard:

His love for the subject was displayed with charm, wit and the timing of a natural storyteller.
Assistance came from the veteran actor Gabriel Woolf, who read extracts with controlled passion from Gray's Elegy, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, AE Housman's A Shropshire Lad and Bleak House by Charles Dickens.
Mr Dexter described the latter as "our greatest novelist and this his greatest book". (Philip Welch)

Bella Online posts about the history of women's literature. Including the Brontës, of course:

Emily Bronte was one of three sisters who became famous authors. She wrote only one novel, the classic, “Wuthering Heights.” But she wrote more
poetry, one of her more famous works was titled, “Love and Friendship.”
Her sister Charlotte penned “Jane Eyre,” the epic love story between the dark, mysterious Mr. Rochester at Thornfield Hall and the simple orphan, Jane.
