The Brontës’ Christmas invites you to step back in time and explore the delights of a Victorian Christmas through the eyes of our most beloved authors.
While the Brontë family’s celebrations weren’t the most exuberant, Victorian society cheerfully embraced the newfound idea of Christmas as a time for feasts, decorations, the exchanging of gifts and parlour games.
Through a selection of seasonal recipes, letters, poetry and extracts, The Brontës’ Christmas meanders back in time to explore long-forgotten customs, including Vessel Maids and furmenty; the spice cake that Charlotte took around to her husband’s parishioners; and childhood games enjoyed by the family.
This festive season, curl up and experience a Haworth Christmas.
The late MARIA HUBERT (1945-2007) was a cofounder of The Christmas Archives with her husband Andrew. She combined a love of history, folk custom, literature and research with knowledge of Latin, Greek, Spanish and Catalan learned in convents in the UK and Spain. A well-qualified cook, a great deal of her love for Christmas was born of her Yorkshire Christmas food customs. She was a frequent guest on radio and television in the UK, gaining extra fame in Japan with the launch of a Christmas museum in Hokkaido. ANDREW HUBERT is an expert in the history of Christmas, with over 40 years’ involvement with exhibitions, TV & radio programmes. He co-founded ‘The Christmas Archives’ alongside his late wife Maria. Together they created literary-themed festive books to delight fans of classic authors such as Jane Austen and the Brontës, a series which Andrew is now updating and expanding.
