The Brontës in Belgian Radio

An alert from Belgium radio as reported on the Brussels Brontë Blog:

To kick off this academic year here in Belgium, the writer and academic Kristien Hemmerechts is giving a series of 14 short talks on the Brontës on the Flemish radio station Klara. The talks, which last around 7 minutes, will be broadcast from 3 September on weekdays at 8.15 am.
As the starting point for each broadcast, Kristien Hemmerechts takes a quotation from one of the Brontës, drawing on their novels, letters (including Charlotte’s letters to Constantin Heger), Emily’s ‘diary papers’ and the French essays written by Charlotte and Emily in Brussels. All four siblings are discussed; one of the talks is dedicated to Branwell.
Look out for the ninth broadcast, which discusses Charlotte’s attitude to Brussels and the Belgians! And in the last of them, the Brussels Brontë Group gets a mention. (Helen MacEwan)

On Klara.be (in Flemish), further information can be found:

 200 jaar geleden werd de Britse schrijfster Emily Brontë geboren. Emily kwam uit een literair nest. Haar zussen Charlotte en Anne schreven ook. En hun broer Branwell schilderde en dronk maar vond daartussen toch ook tijd om wat op papier te zetten. Emily’s meesterwerk is Wuthering Heights, Charlotte werd wereldberoemd met haar roman Jane Eyre en Anne schreef The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

You can now listen to Espresso 7 days a week. In the week from 6 am to 9 am and in the weekend from 7 am to 10 am, via Klara, klara.be and the Klara app .
