Costumes from the latest film adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre are to go on display at the Bronte Parsonage Museum as part of its contemporary arts season.
The costumes, which were used in the film starring Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender and Jamie Bell, will be displayed at the museum’s period rooms from Thursday.
As part of the arts season, artist Rebecca Chesney will exhibit new visual art work created during her year-long residency investigating the Brontes and the weather, in the exhibition Hope’s Whisper.
Bonnie Greer, Terry Eagleton and Caryl Phillips will discuss themes of race and slavery in Wuthering Heights, following a screening of the documentary A Regular Black.
The museum will host the third Bronte Festival of Women’s Writing from August 31 to September 2.
