"Haworth Harvest" breaks new ground in the rich field that is the lives of the Brontës. Their lives were spent, for the most part, at a lonely parsonage standing on the edge of the wild moors in a moat of gravestones. To it came the handsome, impetuous Irishman, Patrick Brontë, with his diminutive wife and six tiny children. Soon, the mother and two elder daughters were to be among those gravestones, leaving the father with three daughters and a son. Their inner worlds teemed with the fantastic characters of their imaginations, playing roles written by these four children in painstakingly small script. They were all touched with vision. To create, to write -- this was the driving purpose of living. In "Haworth Harvest", Miss Morrison adds to our knowledge of their daily lives together, of their feelings for one another, of the sisters' concern for their high-strung, addicted brother and for the father outlived them all, and of those turbulent and passionate forces that worked within them to give us "Jane Eyre", "Villette", "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", and "Wuthering Heights". -- From publisher's description.
