Work/Cited Episode 25: Emily Brontë and George Eliot: The Magic of Paper

​​​

Explore Emily Brontë's tiny poetry manuscripts and George Eliot's working notebooks, complete with doodles and rips from everyday life.  

Work/Cited is a program series that showcases the latest scholarship supported by the rich collections of The New York Public Library with a behind-the-scenes look at how the finished product was inspired, researched, and created.

Deborah Lutz, the Thruston B.
