This is a biography of Anne Bronte, the often underrated sister of Charlotte and Emily. It makes imaginative use of recent research to redefine the personal and artistic relationship between Anne and her sisters, especially Emily. It emphasizes the five-year period when Anne is known to have been away from Haworth - a period in which she was struggling to accustom herself to a different culture and environment. Edward Chitham produces new evidence about Anne's life away from home and re-examines the traumatic period before and after Branwell's "disgrace". It modifies the conventionally held view of Agnes Grey and reviews the evidence for Anne's relationship with William Weightman. This is a biography for readers as much as scholars. It wears its learning lightly and provides an elegant and original life of one of the remarkable Bronte sisters.

This book provides a rounded account of the history of Dudley, beginning before the Norman Conquest. It traces the development of industry in the town, and shows how the lack of utilities, including water, hampered the nineteenth-century town, and forcing a section of the population into desperate poverty. Major historical treasures remain from this era, however, giving the opportunity for the growth of tourism in the present era. The Story of Dudley, compiled by an expert in the area’s history, weaves these events together into an accessible, interesting, and in-depth history of the town that is sure to delight residents and visitors alike.

Exploring the Irish heritage of the Brontës and the influence it had on their work
"Has it ever been sufficiently recognized that Charlotte Brontë is first and foremost an Irish woman?" asked Mary Ward in 1899. The answer to this question, even in 2015, is no. This book tries to set the record straight by exploring the Irish heritage of the Brontës. Emily, in particular, seems to have had Irish concerns close to her heart. Based on new and extensive research, this revised edition traces their Irish heritage and suggests ways in which this is seen in the Bronte sisters’ output.
