'I Looked for Something of the Gentleman'

An alert from the Brontë Parsonage Museum for today, April 26:

Parsonage Unwrapped: 'I Looked for Something of the Gentleman' - The Brontës and Men
Friday 26 April 2019, 19:30 h
A unique after-hours event

For better or worse, the literary men that flowed from the pens of the Brontës have been acclaimed as heroes and heartthrobs both on the page and on screen. But what of the men in their everyday lives? Outside of their father and brother, who were the men of their acquaintance and what impact did their encounters have on the sisters’ view of gentlemen more widely? Look more closely at Constantin Heger, William Weightman, Henry Nussey, Arthur Bell Nicholls and others in this after-hours event in the Parsonage Library.
