**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** Author Graham Watson will discuss his new book, The Invention of Charlotte Brontë: A New Life. Based entirely on rarely seen private letters, Watson sheds new light on the dramatic events of Brontë’s turbulent last years of grief, fulfillment, and tragedy -- and exposes the astonishing media scandal that followed her early death, when her friends and family battled to control how history would remember her. Join us as Graham discusses Charlotte's life, writing, and death as well as his own research and writing of this book. Watson is a specialist in the Brontës and Elizabeth Gaskell, and he is currently researching Victorian literary identities at the University of Glasgow.  Register directly on Zoom HERE. Presented in collaboration with the Ashland Library.
