The lives and works of the celebrated Bronte family are so ingrained in our cultural psyche that we think we know them inside out - but walking in the footsteps of the literary greats and their characters offers a new perspective on their work. Our journey begins in Cambridge with the arrival of the young Patrick Bronte and follows his family's fortunes as they grow up in their home village of Haworth. We see the wild moorland locations that would inspire the haunting Wuthering Heights and the dour schools they attended that would later feature in Jane Eyre. We visit the homes of family and friends that provided the settings for many of their novels and travel with them across the industrial West Riding to York and the coast. This spectacular collection of photographs old and new explores the people and places that the brilliant Brontes knew and loved.
Mark Davis is a fearless, versatile, and passionate photographer, committed to delivering the perfect photographic image. As a keen social historian focusing on 19th century social injustice in particular, Mark has photographed Bradford from the core out for several years, recording the ongoing evolution of the city. Mark has worked for the National Media Museum, ‘Northern Life’ magazine, The BBC, Bedlam and The Imperial War Museum . His work has also been exhibited in Menston under the banner 'Reflecting On High Royds – A Haunting Portrait of the Former Psychiatric Hospital'. He is also closely involved with High Royds Memorial Garden as a campaigner dedicated to giving a voice to those that were sadly without voices in life. Mark makes his home near Haworth, the rugged landscape of which continues his photography and published books. Ann Dinsdale is Collections Manager at the Bronte Parsonage Museum, Haworth. She lectures and writes on aspects of the Brontes' lives and social conditions in mid-nineteenth century Haworth. She is the author of The Brontes at Haworth (Frances Lincoln, 2006) and a contributor to the forthcoming companion to Bronte Studies to be published by Cambridge University Press. Ann lives in Haworth.
