“The Mystery & History of Charlotte Brontë

Elizabeth Chang, Associate Professor of English

With her 1847 novel Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë changed the course of British literature, offering new possibilities for women both as female characters and as authors. This lecture will celebrate Brontë’s legacy and will introduce you to new stories of the life of the famous author—including exploration of a mysterious University of Missouri connection to her writing. You might even be persuaded that Charlotte Brontë helped invent the selfie, 150 years before cell phones!
