We had such a good time chatting with Graham that we just had to have him back! This time, we'll be delving deeper into the primary sources - the manuscripts and letters - that informed Graham's book "The Invention of Charlotte BrontĂŤ: A New Life". Join us, once again, as Graham discusses Charlotte's life - the myths vs. reality - as well as his own research and writing of this fantastic book! Click here to register. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. About the book: Charlotte BrontĂŤ had a life as seemingly dramatic as her heroine Jane Eyre. Turning her back on her tragic past, Charlotte reinvented herself as an acclaimed author, a mysterious celebrity, and a passionate lover. Doing so meant burning many bridges, but her sudden death left her friends and admirers with more questions than answers. Tasked with telling the truth about BrontĂŤâs life, her friend, the novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, uncovered secrets of illicit love, family discord, and professional rivalries more incredible than any fiction. The result, a tell-all biography, was so scandalous it was banned and rewritten twice in six monthsâbut not before it had given birth to the legend of the BrontĂŤs. Through evaluating key events as well as introducing new archival material into the story, The Invention of Charlotte BrontĂŤ presents a different, darker take on one of the most famous women writers of the nineteenth century, showing Charlotte to be a strong but flawed individual.. About Graham: Graham Watson is a specialist in the BrontĂŤs and Elizabeth Gaskell, and he is currently researching Victorian literary identities at the University of Glasgow. He has published a number of papers in BrontĂŤ Studies and has recently joined the journalâs peer-review board. This is his first book. Graham lives in Glasgow. Presented in collaboration with the Ashland Public Library and other area libraries. https://danverslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/zoom-program-the-invention-of-charlotte-bront-with-author-graham-watson-take-two/

THIS PROGRAM IS CANCELED DUE TO A SCHEDULE CONFLICT - WE WILL BE OFFERING ANOTHER PROGRAM IN REPLACEMENT OF THIS ONE THE ROARING TWENTINES ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30TH AT 7PM IN THE GORDON ROOM.  Many people think "fake news" is a recent phenomenon, but we can trace it back to the 1920s, when radio was new, and society was much more trusting. Back then, there were fake "doctors" peddling cures for diseases, and fake "scientists" with machines that let you talk to aliens. And when TV became popular in the 1950s, the fraudsters just moved over to the new mass medium and came up with new schemes. So, what lessons can we learn from their tactics? And would they still be successful today? Media historian Donna Halper will take you on a journey through radio and TV's formative years, as you meet some of the fraudsters and charlatans who tried to deceive the public. Donna Halper is a media historian, professor, author, and public speaker. She is also an 2023 Inductee, Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame.  If you or someone in your party need accommodations to attend this event, please email [email protected] at least one week in advance of the date of the program. https://danverslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/adult-program-pending-165/
