Juliet Barker is a bestselling historian and internationally recognised expert on the Brontë sisters. Her revolutionary and prizewinning biography, The Brontës, was the result of eleven years of research. She was the curator and librarian at the Brontë parsonage in Haworth during the 1980s, with access to many of the family’s letters and papers. 
In this special event to celebrate the bicentenary year of Charlotte Brontë’s birth, Juliet will discuss and dispel some of the myths that have grown up around the author of Jane Eyre with arts journalist Mandy Morton.
