Australia-bound Brontës

ArtsHub reports that, 'over 100 manuscripts from the British Library and National Portrait Gallery head to Australia'.

The exhibition will open on 12 April and offer an opportunity for Australians to come face-to-face with some of the most well-known figures in English literature. Over 100 rare manuscripts and first editions, along with 70 portraits, will be displayed together for the very first time.

The exhibition will feature prominent and influential literary figures from the 16th century to the present day, including William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, William Blake, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, JRR Tolkien and contemporary luminaries, Sir Kazuo Ishiguro and Zadie Smith.

Concrete Playground reports it as well. (It is a bit a strange that the manuscript of such a London novel like Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway won't be in London for its centenary, though).
