The York Press features a recent event that put the spotlight in Yorkshire.
Mark Young, The Ivy York general manager, said: "It was a pleasure for The Ivy York to celebrate how incredibly wonderful our fabulous county is.
"We are so lucky to live and work in such a beautiful place, with so much history and rich culture.
"One of our guests was Nigel West from The Brontë Birthplace, a direct descendant of Charlotte Brontë's husband Arthur Bell Nicholls. You cannot get more Yorkshire than the world famous Brontë family." (Haydn Lewis)
discusses Jane Austen and satire commenting along the way,
Even Charlotte Brontë deployed satire. Brontë was an admirer of William Makepeace Thackeray and dedicated the second edition of Jane Eyre (1847) to his famously satirical novel Vanity Fair (1848). As 19th-century literature expert Jo Smith has recently observed, Brontë also used her persona, Currer Bell, to enact satire across her career, even articulating her own theory of satire. (Adam J Smith)
