Bonnets At Dawn

Welcome to Louisa MAY Alcott! The entire month of May we're going to be discussing the author of Little Women (and so much more)! Kicking off our series is Jan Turnquist from Orchard House Museum. Orchard House was the longtime home of the Alcott family and is now dedicated to preserving Louisa May Alcott's memory. You can find out more about Orchard House here: http://www.louisamayalcott.org/

Hey, hey it's our first ever LIVE show! Listen in as we discuss the friendship of Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte Bronte LIVE from Elizabeth Gaskell's House in Manchester. Big thanks to our experts Amy Rowbottom, from the Bronte Parsonage, and Jane Mathieson, from the Gaskell Society. Part 2 of this panel will be posted in June.

Lauren, Hannah and the volunteers from Elizabeth Gaskell's House take you on an audio tour of their favorite literary home.

Join us as we discuss the bad lads, sad lads and very bad dads in Wildfell Hall. Thanks to everyone who joined in on the #BADTenant read-along! We wanted to included ALL of your amazing comments, but wanted to keep this recording under 5 hours.

We kick off our Emily200 programming with an interview with Amy Rowbottom from the Bronte Parsonage. We discuss Emily myths and misconceptions, Bronte jewellery and museum life.

On a cold, clear day in December we had Jane Austen's cottage all to ourselves to record our little podcast. We also had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Mary Guyatt about her experience working at the Jane Austen House Museum. Here is the audio proof.

Listen in on our sleepytime recaps of our 2 week roadtrip from London to Manchester to Chawton. We discuss Elizabeth Gaskell's House, the Jane Austen House Museum, the fine libraries of Manchester and Gemporia.

P.S. We apologize for that time we ate sausage rolls while taping. That was rude.

We're back! In this minisode, Lauren finally listens to Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights, Hannah tells us why Louisa May Alcott is the very best and they reveal a few special announcements!

Yes, we're on break, but we had to drop a Valentine's Day episode! For this very special occassion we invited two dudes on to discuss the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility. And while we may know them, they are complete strangers to Austen's work.

We are currently on break, but we hope you will enjoy this late-night rambler where we continue our discussion on Lucy Snowe and Anne Elliot!
