Beskrivelse
This is volume I of Francis A. Leyland's 1886 work 'The Bronte Family', a detailed investigation into the lives and works of the seminal English literary family. The Brontes were a famous literary family during the nineteenth century synonymous with the West Riding area of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (1816-1855), Emily (1818-1848), and Anne (1820-1849), are now world-famous poets and novelists; and their father, Patrick Bronte (1777 - 1861), was also an author. Numerous novels produced by this family have since become classics of English literature. 'The Bronte Family' constitutes a must-read for those with an interest in the work of the three sisters, and is not to be missed by students of English literature or its history. Contents include: 'Early Circumstances Of The Brontes', 'Mrs. Bronte', 'The Rev. Patrick Bronte', 'The Girlhood Of The Bronte Sisters', 'Branwell's Boyhood', 'The Literary Tastes Of The Children', 'Youth', etc. This volume offers fantastic insights into the people behind the literature, exploring their letters, relationships, friends, and more in wonderful detail. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of literature lovers now and for years to come.
