Book Description
This is volume I of Francis A. Leyland's 1886 work “The Brontë Family”, a detailed investigation into the lives and works of the seminal English literary family. The Brontës 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 Brontë (1777 – 1861), was also an author. Numerous novels produced by this family have since become classics of English literature. “The Brontë 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 Brontës”, “Mrs. Brontë”, “The Rev. Patrick Brontë”, “The Girlhood Of The Brontë 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.

Book Description
The Brontë Family, with special reference to Patrick Branwell Brontë is a biography of the most famous literary family consisting of three sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne and their brother Branwell who was a painter. The book is a response to Elizabeth Gaskell's controversial "Life of Charlotte Brontë," which was rejected by family members and friends. It provides a general overview of the life of the sisters and Branwell, with special focus on Branwell and some interesting details on how he influenced his sisters' books._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
