The talk will share rare items from the Bront\u00eb archives to uncover Emily Bront\u00eb\u2019s literary interest in vampires. Elysia will trace the influence of German literature and vampire stories on <em>Wuthering Heights<\/em>, and how Emily Bronte\u2019s writing has gone on to shape modern vampire media like <em>Twilight.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Elysia completed a BA in English Literature at Edge Hill in 2023, where she studied modules on Victorian literature, Vampire Fictions, and a specialist module on the life and works of the Bront\u00ebs. She went on to secure her dream job working at the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum, where Emily, Anne and Charlotte lived from 1820 and wrote their most famous works including <em>Wuthering Heights<\/em> and the <em>Tenant of Wildfell Hall<\/em> to <em>Jane Eyre<\/em>. Elysia said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8216;I\u2019m privileged that I get to physically engage with the legacy of the Bronte family, and share their incredible story with visitors of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;I have been able to take my love for the Brontes\u2019 novels and poetry \u2013 deepened thanks to my studies on modules at Edge Hill \u2013 and apply it in my career. I have been supported both by my tutors at Edge Hill and my colleagues at the Bronte Parsonage Museum in following my passion for the Brontes into the world of work, and have the honour of engaging with literature, heritage, and curatorial disciplines on a daily basis.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside her work at the Bront\u00eb Parsonage, Elysia is a student on the MA in Nineteenth Century Studies, where her talk also forms part of her coursework for a module \u2018Working on the Nineteenth Century\u2019. Tutor Dr Laura Eastlake said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u2018Elysia is a brilliant example of how our students can follow their passions into rewarding careers in heritage. The degree has been popular with students who want work in \u2013 or who are already employed in \u2013 museums, galleries, archives and libraries. We give students the research to follow their interests in nineteenth century topics. But we also create practical opportunities to take their knowledge out into the world, whether that be producing exhibitions, public talks, or working with some of our brilliant partner organizations across the UK.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Book your place on Elysia&#8217;s talk <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronte.org.uk\/whats-on\/1344\/emily-bronte-and-vampires\/6892\">here<\/a><\/strong>.
