Brontes at Haworth by Ann Dinsdale & Simon Warner
Paints a detailed picture of everyday life at Haworth in the 1840s, recounting the Bronte family history and describing the local village and surrounding countryside. This book provides insight into the lives of the authors of "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", "Jane Eyre", and "Wuthering Heights".The three Bronte sisters - Anne, Charlotte and Emily - moved to Haworth Parsonage as children in 1820. It was there, on the edge of the dramatic landscape of the Yorkshire Moors, that they produced some of the most memorable, influential and best loved novels in the English language. Ann Dinsdale paints a detailed picture of everyday life at Haworth in the 1840s, recounting the Bronte family history and describing the local village and surrounding countryside. She goes on to consider the Brontes' poetry and novels in the context of their socio-historic background. This book provides fascinating insight into the lives of the authors of "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" and will be a must for both literature students and Bronte admirers. It is illustrated with numerous rarely seen images from the Haworth archives, including drawings by Charlotte and Emily, together with evocative pictures by local photographer Simon Warner. |
