The Secret World of Emily Brontë

Producer Liz Friend

Two hundred years after the author's birth, Lily Cole - an admirer of Bronte's work - explores her world and the groundbreaking novel she produced, Wuthering Heights. Given that Bronte had to publish her book under the androgynous pseudonym Ellis Bell, Cole goes on to consider the parallels in terms of contemporary women's ongoing struggle to achieve equal pay, recognition and opportunity in their chosen profession.

  2. I looked forward to this programme only to find it was The Lily Cole Show. It told me nothing new about Emily Bronte but it did show me Ms Coles extensive wardrobe: a different outfit every five minutes! Very disappointing.

  3. I agree. This programme was nothing more than a platform for her political views and a pathetic exercise in self-promotion. The Brontes must be turning in their graves.

  4. I liked her approach. This was IMHO a personal journey of discovery that I find interesting and enjoyable.
