Branwell, Charlotte, Emily, & Anne Brontë all had to move back in with their father as adults because they couldn't get/keep permanent employment. THE O.G. MILLENNIALS.
I'm an apathetic agnostic (don't know, don't care), but poor Patrick...I kind of *have* to hope there's a lovely afterlife, if just for this one guy.
(For those unfamiliar, Patrick Brontë was the father of *deep breath* Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, & Anne Brontë. He outlived his wife & all his children.)
I didn‘t realize this was a chunker. I think I just got carried away ordering.
Not so much reading this book as entering into a long-term relationship with it!
A nice big book to settle into for a couple hours
The coolest return address on any piece of mail EVER. 😍
Charlotte Bronte disses Jane Austen in a letter to George Henry Lewes (critic and partner of George Eliot). ?
"These observations will probably irritate you, but I shall run the risk" = my new Litsy tag line. ??
They look exactly like I always pictured them! Loving the BBC's Bronte biopic "We Walk Invisible."
December's literary house. Maybe my favorite yet. Hoping there's a 2017 calendar with new homes!
When you're walking home and go "WHAT is in this purse?!" and then oh yeah it's this monster
#WCW The Brontë Sisters painted by their brother Bramwell (who included himself then painted that out leaving but a ghostly outline) have been on my walls since I picked up the poster at an exhibit in New York in the late 90's, so ya, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a fan girl : @BookishFeminist
