I just ran a list of everyone who's visited to this Board, and was pleasantly surprised to see friends both old & new: from the Austen board at Pemberley, the Bronte e-mail list, etc.
Please come out & POST!!! We are very friendly here -- you needn't have fear of expressing any opinion, as long as it isn't hurtful to any other poster.
I know many of you are Bronte fans and/or experts, and we would appreciate your comments. Thanks!!

Just to reiterate that many people are dropping by, and NOBODY is posting this week!! I am starting to feel really, really lonely out here in cyberspace. To ameliorate my sense of alienation (& you don't want me to go the way of Emily, do you?) PLEASE post! You can comment on the weather, Charles Dickens, your Aunt Hennie, whatever. Or I promise I'm going to start typing -really- long soliloquies about the Moors...and the sheep grazing on them....the white, woolly sheep... Thanks, amy

Hi Amy,
Yes I have been sneaking around. I have been enjoying your comments, well everyone's comments for that matter. Amy I find your information on the Bronte's to be very fresh and interesting. I have the Gaskell book at home and I just love reading about Charlotte, but I have to admit, Anne is probably my favorite of the three. I found her writing to be very truthful. I loved Anne Grey and of course, Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Well I'm leaving now, I'm not very schooled in Bronte, but I thor
ughly enjoy this board.
You've done a great job:)

Thanks Laura! My fiance's favorite Bronte is Anne too! Have you read the Winifred Gerin bio of her? It's pretty good. I just finished the Maria Frawley book on Anne, & I thought it was a little redundant. There's really not too much material out there available on Anne, which is a shame.
Anyway, welcome to the Board & hope to see you posting more often!

Hi Amy. I just love the Bronte conference. Every time I log on I read a bit more. I've been writing music for a performance piece about Charlotte and Branwell, which will be staged in the spring in San Francisco if we get our little budget approved -- so the Bronte conference is the perfect place for me to meditate about that. I bought the Barker book, but have been completely shanghai'd by E.F. Benson. Help! My friends told me I needed to read the Mapp and Lucia books, but they didn't warn me to wh
t extent they would take over my life. Anyway, thanks for this great site.

Thanks, Michael! It's great to have you here! My favorite bio of Charlotte is Lyndall Gordon's CHARLOTTE BRONTE: A PASSIONATE LIFE. The Rebecca Fraser is excellent too. I'm not that crazy about the Barker because I find it somewhat dry, anti-Charlotte, and basically an apologist tract on behalf of the men: Branwell & Patrick. I understand Barker is now writing a bio of William Wordsworth, which should be interesting. . .
