The Brontë Cabinet: Three Lives in Nine Objects

Hay Festival 2016, 

The compelling story of the Brontës is told through the things they wore, stitched, wrote on and inscribed at the parsonage in Haworth. From Charlotte’s writing desk and the manuscripts it contained to the brass collar worn by Emily’s dog Keeper, each object opens a window on to the sisters’ world, their fiction, and the Victorian era. Chaired by Viv Groskop.
