Excerpt from In the Footsteps of the Brontes My first copy of Mrs. Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Bronte was sent to me from Haworth, and some years afterwards fate decreed that I should go to live on the edge of the glorious moors, within bowshot of the Haworth vicarage. It mattered not to me that Mrs. Gaskell had described the moorland village as bleak, wild, and desolate; it was the home of the Brontes, and therein lay its charm. After living in Haworth for nearly two years, I had the good fortune to reside for the next six years in two other districts closely associated with the Brontes, on the borders of the Shirley country, and within a pleasant walk of Woodhouse Grove. In those days - now nearly thirty years ago - there were many who had known the famous family at the Haworth parsonage, including Dr. Ingham, the medical adviser to the Brontes; the sexton's family; and Mr. Wood, the village carpenter, who never failed to tell visitors that he made all the coffins for the Bronte family except Anne's. Since those days, I have met many, in different parts of England as well as in Brussels, who knew Charlotte and Emily Bronte. When opportunities offered I made repeated pilgrimages to every Bronte shrine, both in England and abroad. To be a devotee of the Brontes is to find an Open Sesame wherever true literature is valued, and it is one of the pleasantest recollections of my life to remember that in no single instance have I met with a refusal when seeking permission to see the interiors of houses and schools with which the Brontes have been connected. It is impossible to adequately acknowledge the uniform kindness which, as a stranger, I have received. Several who have so willingly helped me have passed away during the writing of this book: Miss F. Wheelwright, of Kensington; Mrs. Ratcliffe, of Haworth; and M. l'Abbe Richardson, of Brussels.

Elizabeth Branwell was born in Penzance in 1770, a member of a large and influential Cornish family of merchants and property owners. In 1821 her life changed forever when her sister Maria fell dangerously ill. Leaving her comfortable life behind, Elizabeth made the long journey north to a remote moorland village in Yorkshire to nurse her sister. After the death of Maria, Elizabeth assumed the role of second mother to her nephew and five nieces. She would never see Cornwall again, but instead dedicated her life to her new family: the Bronts of Haworth, to whom she was known as Aunt Branwell.In this first ever biography of Elizabeth Branwell, we see at last the huge impact she had on Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bront, as well as on her nephew Branwell Bront who spiralled out of control away from her calming influence. It was a legacy in Aunt Branwell's will that led directly to the Bront books we love today, but her influence on their lives and characters was equally important. As opposed to the stern aunt portrayed by Mrs. Gaskell in her biography of Charlotte Bront, we find a kind hearted woman who sacrificed everything for the children she came to love. This revealing book also looks at the Branwell family, and how their misfortunes mirrored that of the Bronts, and we find out what happened to the Bront cousin who emigrated to America, and in doing so uncover the closest living relatives to the Bront sisters today.

'I was wowed and moved' Tracy Chevalier Anne Brontë is the forgotten Brontë sister, overshadowed by her older siblings - virtuous, successful Charlotte, free-spirited Emily and dissolute Branwell. Tragic, virginal, sweet, stoic, selfless, Anne. The less talented Brontë, the other Brontë. Take Courage is Samantha's personal, poignant and surprising journey into the life and work of a woman sidelined by history. A brave, strongly feminist writer well ahead of her time - and her more celebrated siblings - and who has much to teach us today about how to find our way in the world.
