Exploring the Brontës
In this course, we will read together and examine the writings of the Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, beginning with a look at their life and legacy. We will read and examine all of their novels, concluding with Wuthering Heights.
The course will run for two hours every Saturday, beginning at 3pm EST and concluding at 5pm EST.
Each session will include a 1-hour lecture and a 1-hour discussion session, during which participants can raise questions and present their perspective on the texts that we are reading.
The schedule for the course is as follows:
