Hooray for this new board!!! I missed coming back to the Conference on the Spring. And talking about the Brontes is something that gives me a thrill. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this! ;-)

Terry is the man who put this together, so three cheers for Terry! I too am glad to have a special place to talk about the Brontes. Their lives & work are so rich, I'm sure we'll have many interesting discussions!

Thanks Amy, it's heartwarming that you're doing this. Perhaps the Spring's role
to become a literary forum of sorts. I'm not much of an expert on the Brontes,
but I saw a wonderful play about the Bronte sisters in Austin several years ago
and I hope they bring that play back some time.

Terry:
Thanks. Was this by any chance called BECOMING BRONTE? I have a friend who knows the producer. They've been trying to get this off the ground in L.A., but I understand that the budget is too large for small theatre.

It was in fact Becoming Bronte! It was a wonderful production.

Yeah, I heard the whole story of their L.A. travails from a friend who works at New Line. It's not easy getting theatre off the ground in this town, unless Julia Roberts agrees to play Charlotte...

Hello Amy,
Iam Tas from India. Thanks for creating the discussions on Brontes.
Charlotte is one of my most favourite author. How I wish she and her
sisters were born in the middle of 19th century so that they could
have seen and enjoyed their success. How I wish she could have read
all the messages posted in this group which shows how famous she is.
Its amazing that the works of Bronte sisters are read even today in
this technologically modern world. That shows their greatness.
Charlotte is absolutely brilliant.Her command over the English
language is great.Her novels are modern and if you read them you will
feel that she is an author of 21st century.
I loved her novels "JANE EYRE" and "SHIRLEY".I have read them many
times. Charlotte had told her friend that she had based the character
of "Shirley" on her sister Emily Bronte(Author of the most famous
romantic novel "WUTHERING HEIGHTS")
Charlotte Bronte was very close to her sisters Emily Bronte and Anne
Bronte(author of the sweet novel "AGNES GREY").
Cheers
Tas

And a hearty welcome aboard.
