This is volume I of Francis A. Leyland’s 1886 work The Bront Family, a detailed investigation into the lives and works of the seminal English literary family. The Bront s 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 Bront (1777 - 1861), was also an author. Numerous novels produced by this family have since become classics of English literature. The Bront 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 Bront s,
Mrs. Bront ,
The Rev. Patrick Bront ,
