Nineteenth century English literary society was so set
against bringing women into its exclusive realm that the Bronte sisters felt
they had to use male nom de plume's to attract a readership, and George Elliott
remains known to posterity by her male pseudonym. Despite this inclement
environment, there was a flowering of female authorship that has never been
bettered, possibly never equalled. The Great Ladies of Literature examines the
most striking examples of this extraordinary phenomenon.
JANE AUSTEN'S LIFE GEORGE ELIOT - LIFE AND LITERATURE THE BRONTE SISTERS

This program tells the story of Marian Evans, from her pious Midland childhood, through her development into an independent minded academic, before emerging as the novelist George Eliot.
This program tells that story, charting the progress of the Bronte sisters from their childhood writing collaborations with Bramwell, to their independent literary achievements which are acclaimed the world over.
