      Set in the picturesque village of Hawort against the stunning landscape of the Yorkshire moors, Haworth Parsonage was the home of the Brontë family from 1820 to 1861 and the place where Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë wrote their great novels: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, it houses the world's largest collection of Brontë manuscripts, furniture, clothes and personal possessions and offers an inspirational and evocative experience for people of all ages. This guide offers a fascinating insight into the Museum's extensive collection, the historic rooms of the Parsonage, the Brontës and their lives in Haworth. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to support the Brontë Society's important work in promoting the Brontës and preserving the Parsonage for future generations.

      'The Brontes at Haworth' is the story both of the real world of the Brontes at Haworth Parsonage, their home on the edge of the lonely Yorkshire moors, and of the imaginary worlds they spun for themselves in their novels and poetry. Wherever possible, their story is told using their own words - the letters they wrote to each other, Emily and Anne's secret diaries, and Emily's exchanges with the luminaries of literary England - or those of the people who were closest to them - their brother Branwell, their father the Reverend Patrick Bronte, and their novelist friend Mrs. Gaskell. T he Brontes sketched and painted their worlds too, in delicate ink washes and watercolors of family and friends, animals, and the English moors. These pictures illuminate the text, as do the tiny drawings the Bronte children made to illustrate their imaginary worlds. In addition, there are facsimiles of their letters and diaries, paintings by artists of the day, and pictures of period household items. The Brontes at Haworth is a unique and privileged view of the real lives of these women, writers, and sisters - their own view - and is certain to be cherished by any admirer of this remarkable literary family.
