Today’s episode is all about the most well-known Brontë sister: Charlotte. While her presence has been felt in the other episodes, here we’ll look more closely at her personal life and her novels. If you’re a fan of the novel Jane Eyre, you might want to read my blog post about the fairy tale elements or listen to the episode titled Modern Gothic from my last podcast series.
[4:40] “It would be in this city on the continent, far away from home, that Charlotte would find an infatuation worthy to make into a plot.”
[14:34] “While a more public life kept her busy, Charlotte never seemed comfortable in the limelight and very often came across as awkward."
[19:34] “… we can’t just look at Charlotte as the naïve champion for her sister’s publications, but as a force that altered their (and subsequently our) memories of them.”
