Rare Book School Lectures

Why are modern day readers still responsive to "Jane Eyre," and how do their readings influence the life of the text? UVA's Linden Kent Memorial Professor Karen Chase (Brontë scholar and author of "Eros & Psyche") leads a discussion with author Patricia Park ("Re Jane") and RBS curator Barbara Heritage (“Shaping Eyre”) about the enduring influence of Charlotte Brontë’s nineteenth-century novel, "Jane Eyre." This program, held on 23 March 2017, is part of the 2017 Virginia Festival of the Book, and is sponsored by Rare Book School and the UVA Libraries.
