A new talk organized by the Australian Brontë Association:
Chris Browse
Castlereagh Boutique Hotel (near Town Hall Station) at 10:30am, Sydney
Chris Browne has been a book collector for more than fifty years and during that time has put together a personal library of around 15,000 books. His main interests are early 19th and 20th century English literature and the history of English publishing and printing. Accordingly, he has collected first, early, illustrated and interesting editions of his favourite authors, which include the Brontës. Chris’s talk will naturally focus on his own collection of books by and relating to the Brontës from the twin perspectives of both an avid reader and an ardent collector. He will talk about his personal favourites, early editions, illustrated editions and some items of special interest. He will also give his personal reasons for collecting and reading the works of the Brontës, and will reflect on why they are still very relevant today.
