The Brontes of Haworth Moor by Diane Browning - OPTIONAL

The Brontes of Haworth Moor by Diane Browning, 226 pages. NON-FICTION BIOGRAPHY Rowman and Littlefield, 2023. $34

Content: G

BUYING ADVISORY: HS, ADULTS - OPTIONAL

APPEALS TO: SOME

Browning has made it her life’s mission to refute the history of the Bronte family as was chronicled by Elizabeth Gaskell.  Browning uses extensive research and expounds upon the many underhanded dealings of Gaksell when it comes to writing the biography that is still used to this.

An adult who loves the history of the Brontes and loves their works will also love this densely packed biography of the family.  High school students will have a much harder time reading it.
