as much heart!
Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre is a beloved
classic, celebrated today by readers of all ages and revered as a masterwork of
literary prowess. But what of the famous writer herself?
Originally published under the pseudonym of Currer Bell, Jane
Eyre was born out of a magnificent, vivid imagination, a deep
cultivation of skill, and immense personal hardship and tragedy. Charlotte,
like her sisters Emily and Anne, was passionate about her work. She sought to
cast an empathetic lens on characters often ignored by popular literature of
the time, questioning societal assumptions with a sharp intellect and changing
forever the landscape of western literature.
With an introduction by Alison Bechdel, Charlotte Brontë
before Jane Eyre presents a stunning examination of a woman who
battled against the odds to make her voice heard.
About Glynnis:
I'm an cartoonist and illustrator living in Burlington, VT.
My most recent book is Charlotte Bronte Before Jane Eyre, Center for Cartoon Studies
Presents series, will be published in September 2019 by Disney/Hyperion. Also
in September, Secret Acres will publish Persephone’s Garden, a collection of autobiographical comics that
have appeared in the New Yorker and other places.
I began working on excavations as illustrator in 1998 and have worked on
sites in Greece, Crete, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus, Syria, and Lebanon. I
continue to work in Greece every year. My illustrations have been
published in several books and many articles.
Many of my personal comics reflect a career in archaeology and family
life. Greek Diary is about working on a dig and traveling with
children. My drawings about my children were published regularly on Muthamagazine.com
and were nominated for an Ignatz Award at the Small Press Expo in 2016.
Another project, Alle
Ego, is about my first trip to Greece and how it launched my work in the
direction of archaeology. A draft of this book won the MoCCA Arts
Festival Award in NY in 2016. I drew most of it during a residency at La Maison des Auteurs in
Angouleme, and I plan to return to work on this book in the future.
I’m currently working on a middle grade adventure set after the eruption
of Thera in Late Bronze Age Greece.
