Summary
Throughout our season of On Eyre, we've given you some small glimpses into the life of Charlotte Brontë. You probably know that she came from a literary family, that she attended a school very like Lowood, and that she died young. But before we put Jane Eyre back on the shelf, we wanted to spend some more time with dear Charlotte and her life in Haworth.
This episode we're joined by the incredible Brontë biographer, Dr. Juliet Barker. Juliet shares with us more about how the Brontë children grew up, their joys and tragedies, and what the success of Jane Eyre meant to Charlotte.

| 1:14.8 | Brontes, called The Brontes, Wild Genius on the Moors. |
| 1:21.3 | We've spent the last several episodes on adaptations of Jane Eyre, demonstrating how this story |

| 1:32.6 | place to end would be with Charlotte Bronte herself, how she grew up, what her family |
| 1:38.8 | was like, which we all know was seminal to the book that she ended up giving us. |
| 1:46.8 | So here is an interview with one of the experts on the Brontes, Juliet Barker, and I hope |
