In Search of the Brontës

The world of windswept moors and tragic heroines vividly evoked in gothic literature such as Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey bears a resemblance to the Bronte sisters' own experiences. But it is not the whole picture. The formative years of Anne, Charlotte and Emily Brontë reveals years of hardship as they grew up together in Haworth, and the profound influence of their father.

As their novels caused a literary storm, the Brontës were forced to navigate the challenges of newfound fame. This charming documentary breathes new life into Brontë family history, using new research to offer a fascinating portrait of their enduring legacy and the indelible mark their classic literature left on the book world. It's a story of triumph, sibling connection and, ultimately, tragedy.
