The Brontës at Haworth - Memoirs

This gorgeously illustrated book explores the life of the Brontes in the context of the place in which they spent most of their lives: Haworth, a beautiful Yorkshire town replete with rolling hills and imposing churchyards. Dinsdale eschews traditional linear biography in favor of exploring separately the life, work, and legacy of each Bronte, including Maria Branwell, who died after giving birth to six children, and the two eldest but short-lived Bronte sisters. Although the chapters are concise, Dinsdale delves deeply into the Brontes' creative endeavors, from their childhood fancies about the imaginative kingdoms of Angria and Gondal, to their poetry and the works that made them famous including Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights.
