- **Event Name**: Virtual Talk: Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 26 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Mon, 26 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë lived decades apart and imagined very different heroines — yet for much or all of their lives, both were unmarried daughters and sisters, deeply embedded in the domestic worlds that helped shape their creativity. From sewing shirts for their brothers to stitching quilts with their sisters, they balanced creative ambition with the daily demands of sewing, caregiving, and domestic responsibility.

This fascinating talk by Eleanor Houghton explores how making, sewing, gifting, budgeting and writing sustained their families and supported their art. Drawing on letters, novels, and surviving garments, accessories and made objects, it reflects on how dress, feminine accomplishment, domestic labour, and familial duty helped shape two of the most enduring literary voices in English literature.

We are delighted to be partnering with the Brontë Parsonage Museum to produce this very special event!
