Roe Head School
Hattie Morahan reads Claire Harman's biography. Today, school life and corresponding with the poet laureate, Robert Southey.
Hattie Morahan reads Claire Harman's new and intimate portrait of Charlotte Bronte. The biography of one of our greatest novelists looks ahead to the two hundredth anniversary of her birth in April 2016. Today, a decision to write to the poet laureate, Robert Southey, yields a surprising response. Meanwhile, the fourteen year old Charlotte begins life at Roe Head School as a pupil before returning as an intransigent teacher.
Abridged by Julian Wilkinson.
Produced by Elizabeth Allard.
