Crowds of tourists are drawn to Haworth, the home of the Brontës, every year to discover what inspired Anne, Charlotte and Emily.
Ann Dinsdale explores their lives there, the impact of the sisters’ home on their writing, and their lasting legacy. However, the Parsonage has also been home to several other families. This book begins with the early history of the house and those who lived there before the arrival of the Brontës. After Patrick Bronte’s death in 1861 the Parsonage became home to four of his successors before being purchased by the Brontë Society in 1928.
Thereafter, it became home to four museum custodians and their families. All of these later occupants witnessed the development of tourism in Haworth, which had begun in Mr Bronte’s own lifetime, and experienced the trials and tribulations of living in a literary shrine.
