A Bronte Family Chronology by E Chitham

The Bronte family is unique. Three sisters, each writing masterpieces, lived in a parsonage in a Yorkshire backwater. Each in her own different way a genius, a verbal conjuror. This book gives a day-by-day account of the lives of the whole family, including stirring events like the production of extraordinary poems, but also details trivial matters, such as the entertainment of visiting clergy or the trials of leaving an umbrella behind on a journey. Appendices deal with the scandal affecting brother Branwell, and the production of the imaginary world of Gondal.

'Chitham is scrupulous in documenting every one of the many thousands of events listed, and..about noting any doubt or uncertainty in dating events...For the peak years of Brontë activity, many days a month are itemized...[The book] should become a standard desk and library resource for all who study the Brontës in depth.' - Bob Duckett, Editor, Brontë Studies
