A Bronte Family Chronology [Hardcover]

This new addition to Palgrave Macmillan's Author Chronologies Series details events in the lives of the Bront? sisters and their associates. Major events such as the publication of history of their works are included, and are balanced by details of Bront? domestic life. There are original discussions, in the light of chronology, of the scandal affecting the Bront?'s brother, Branwell, and the imaginary kingdoms shared by all four children.General Editor's Preface Acknowledgements List of Illustrations Table of Non-Standard Abbreviations Introduction A Bront? Family Chronology Appendices Bibliography Index

'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 Bront? activity, many days a month are itemized...[The book] should become a standard desk and library resource for all who study the Bront?s in depth.' - Bob Duckett, Editor, Bront? Studies
