Several seasons ago, Julie Harris brought to TV the life and writings of Emily Dickinson in her one-woman show, “The Belle of Amherst.â€
Now, in “Bronte,†she does the same for English novelist Charlotte Bronte in a 90-minute special airing Friday at 9 p.m. on KCET Channel 28.
As the program unfolds, Harris tells not only about Charlotte, who wrote “Jane Eyre,†but about her author-sisters Emily (“Wuthering Heightsâ€) and Anne (“Agnes Greyâ€) and their life with their dissolute brother and austere clergyman father in a remote Yorkshire parsonage.
William Luce, who wrote “The Belle of Amherst,†also wrote “Bronte.†Sonny Fox produced and Delbert Mann directed. The program was filmed in County Wicklow, Ireland.
