SUMMARY:The British Experience of the Napoleonic Wars - GI 26 143
DESCRIPTION:Britain’s population was left scarred by experiences of lives lost and financial hardship during the Napoleonic wars. Fear of invasion was widespread in the early stages of the wars\, and collapsing banks\, high taxes and worries over trade led to distress for many. Repressive laws were enacted leading to a growth in radicalism. This course will examine the impact and the legacy of these conflicts.

SUMMARY:Mothering Heights: Finding Mrs Brontë - T409
DESCRIPTION:Before Cathy met Heathcliff\, before Jane Eyre met Mr Rochester\, Maria Branwell met Mr Brontë. They married and their real Regency love story rivals any Brontë novel. \nMaria gave us Charlotte\, Emily and Anne Brontë\, the most gifted literary siblings the world has ever known. She then vanished from history for 200 years. So who was the missing mother of genius? \nSharon shares her quest across the West Country to unearth Maria’s remarkable\, untold life story which she has published in her bestselling biography\, Mother of the Brontës. \nWe’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities\, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this\, please call the team or visit us in person.
