The three Bront 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 Bront family history and describing the local village and surrounding countryside. She goes on to consider the Bronts' poetry and novels in the context of their socio-historic background.
