About This Event

Join Claire O’Callaghan & Dr Michael Stewart as they dismantle the myths that have long obscured Emily Brontë’s life and art.

Emily Bront is one of our best-known writers, but also one of the most enigmatic. Her only novel, Wuthering Heights, has been adapted across all media forms. The latest film adaptation, directed by Emerald Fennell, and starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, is yet another interpretation.


Dr Claire O’Callaghan’s Emily Brontë Reappraised – the only new biography of Emily to be published during the last 20 years – brings new insight into how we read and remember one of literature’s most enigmatic writers. It has just been re-published in a new expanded form.


Join Claire and fellow Brontë expert Dr Michael Stewart as they dismantle the myths that have long obscured Emily Brontë’s life and art, revealing a bold, passionate, and politically attuned writer whose work still resonates today. Rediscover Emily Brontë for our times.
