Acclaimed novelist Tracy Chevalier and the University of Leeds’ Dr Katy Mullin in conversation about the Brontë exhibition in the Treasures of the Brotherton Gallery
Why do the original manuscripts, handwritten notebooks and personal letters of the Brontës resonate so deeply with us?
The event is inspired by the precious material saved for the nation in 2021 from the Blavatnik Honresfield Library. This material is currently on display to the public for the first time in over 80 years at the Treasures of the Brotherton Gallery in Becoming the Brontës. The exhibition is co-curated by the University of Leeds, the British Library and the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
Chevalier and Mullin will discuss their insights into the collection and what it reveals about Yorkshire’s most famous literary family, as well as their love of the Brontës’ work.
