An Evening with Juliet Barker

A press release from the Brontë Society:

An Evening with Juliet Barker

Biographer Juliet Barker will be launching the much-awaited revised edition of her landmark biography The Brontës at the Brontë Parsonage Museum on Friday 12th November, 7.30pm.

The Brontës, first published in 1994, was a radical reassessment of the Brontë family and remains the definitive study of their lives and works. Juliet Barker is publishing a revised and updated version of the book and will be launching this new edition at a very special evening at the Brontë Parsonage Museum. Juliet Barker will be speaking about her revisions, newly discovered material, and the impact of the book at The Old Schoolroom on Church St, followed by book signing and drinks reception at the Brontë Parsonage Museum.

The event will also be a special opportunity to visit the museum after hours, and see some of the museum’s current exhibitions, including the contemporary arts exhibition Remnants by artist Su Blackwell, and the Sex, Drugs and Literature exhibition which focuses on Branwell Brontë.

Tickets for the evening cost £12 can be booked from the Arts Officer: jenna.holmes@bronte.org.uk / 01535 640188.
