Samenvatting
A fascinating look at the background of three beloved writers, illustrated with photographs and archive illustrationsThe 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 ... (Lees verder)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. Ann Dinsdale is the librarian of the Brontk Parsonage Museum in Haworth, West Yorkshire, home of the world's largest collection of Bronteana. She writes and lectures on aspects of the Brontes' lives and has a particular interest in social conditions in mid-nineteenth century Haworth. Her book "Old Haworth," a collection of historic views of Haworth, was published in 1999. Simon Warner lives in a farmhouse under the edge of Haworth Moor. He is a widely published photographer of the British landscape. The books he has illustrated include "National Trail Guides" and he is the author of "Discovering West Yorkshire."
