    Event description:
    ​The visual arts always played a powerful role in Charlotte Bronte's life. From her youth she had aspirations to be a painter and was a serious student of the visual arts. As a novelist her visual imagination was to create some of the most memorable and significant writing in English Literature. This talk explores the early influences of art and illustration on Charlotte Bronte's creative development and the inspired use of painting, illustration and visualisation in her novels.
