Eyre Apparent | Episode 62: The Case for Getting Distracted
Literature and Philosophy for Women
Charlotte Brontë grew up in a remote parsonage, lost her mother and both older sisters as a child, and later buried her brother and her two writer sisters within months of each other. And then she wrote Jane Eyre.
In this episode, we explore why reading may be the ultimate Stoic habit, and why Charlotte’s Christian faith and her writing as a distraction belong in the same conversation. She was a clergyman’s daughter, raised on scripture, sermons and hymns. Faith gave her a framework for suffering, and stories gave her somewhere to put it. Her heroine, Jane Eyre, shows both at work: life keeps knocking her down, and she keeps choosing her principles and her self-respect.
Whether you are new to Stoicism or a long-time listener, this episode is a reminder that the philosophy has always had women at its centre, and that the quiet fight for a steady mind is one worth having.
Listen now, and join us as we continue to uncover the women who shaped Stoic thought.
