## Resource

We might picture Charlotte Brontë's life as an isolated one, separated from much of the world and its fashions as she whiled away the hours in her father's Haworth parsonage. But the truth, as Eleanor Houghton tells Lauren Good, is very different. By exploring the clothes Charlotte wore, we discover new sides to a woman who, despite battling insecurity throughout her life, owned clothes much more worldly and colourful than we’ve previously thought. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST For more on what a writer’s wardrobe can reveal about their life, don’t miss Lauren Good talking to historian Hilary Davidson about what we can learn from Jane Austen's clothes: https://bit.ly/48MmRIF Learn more about your ad choices.
