Description:

The Brontë Yearbook is a vivid portrait of that most remarkable literary family. The Brontës’ daily lives are here before us in their own words: the quiet pleasures of their beloved home at Haworth Parsonage; the frustrations and unhappiness of the sisters in their employment as governesses; the excitement of literary success and recognition; the pain of separation and untimely death. But Juliet Barker dispels the popular misconception that the Brontës were a tragic family, dogged at every step by death and disaster. Their own writings show them as a family unusual only in their extraordinary ability to create such powerful and elemental tales.\nMore than fifty stunning black and white drawings have been specially commissioned to complement the text of The Brontë Yearbook. They emphasize the seasonal variations of Haworth’s wild moorland setting which provided the Brontës with a continual source of inspiration and encouraged them, as children, to create their own imaginary worlds. This covetable book will bring hours of pleasure to all those who love and admire the Brontës.
