    I listen to this on repeat and get something new out of it every time. THE JOY THAT AUTHORS BRING TO THE WORLD IS BEYOND MEASURE.

    Thank you for such an interesting conversation. Questions were even more so. Bronte love seemed palpable on everyone's face. Sad that she was taken away so soon, especially after finding her boy so late in her life..

    Great talk thank you, I enjoyed this very much. Interesting take on some of our favorite characters, as well as, some new insights into Charlotte herself. It was To Walk Invisible btw.

    This video has been watched by 4 k people. And only 3 of them have commented on it. The silence of literature lovers is scary.

    Heger was only 7 years senior, Anne Bronte worked for 5 years as a governess, too many mistakes for the Professor

      Wasn’t Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Brontë?

    Hmmm. Maybe but most likely discomfort with the backstory of all 19th century literature, the obvious and not so obvious antecedents in imperialism, slavery and colonialism. The Gothic is firmly rooted in the “ dark” hearts of white male supremacist thought and practice as they spread their ideas and culture throughout the known world. Of course the Brontes and others saw it! They were women; they lived it - colonized subjects themselves in their own homes. And of course if they had any sense at all they certainly knew or intuited the source of their wealth if they had any and how the men who kept them acquired it. Living a perilous existence themselves certainly they could imagine peril. it’s terrible effects on the mind and the spirit and the irrepressible passion most of all for freedom. Achieving that is the true romance- an independent and womanly voice in the world.

      Hmmm yourself.
      Yours is a HORRIBLE and completely inane take on reality. Take it up with the author of vertebrate biology, whether your Supreme Goddess, Evil YHWH, or Atheistic Materialism. You select out WHITE males as the ultimate source of evil, but where did THEY learn their chops? All suckled at the breast of their mothers, and they earned their varsity letters and place in the sun beating back the assaults of Huns, Mongols, Turks, Moors, and multiple waves of Latins. Now Europe is being bitch-slapped by inundations from Africa and Arabia (mostly male), ALL of which were breast-fed and dandled by superior women. Curious, No?
      Watch male dogs in a dog park interacting with other males, especially in the presence of female dogs, and tell me this ALL has to do with racist dog imperialism.
      Give me a break.

    Oh God I cant take it. This man gets Charlottes letters wrong peoples ages wrong and employment history wrong. WTF. I am sorry but I just cant take it. Many Bronte fans could write a better book. I am not trying to be nasty but he is crazy wrong
