Charlotte, Anne & Emily Bronte - Walking in the footsteps of the Bronte Sisters

Рет қаралды 132,700

Күн бұрын

Emily Bronte, Anne Bronte, and Charlotte Bronte lived 180 years ago. We visit Bronte Country and walk in the footsteps of the Bronte Sisters, piecing together their tragic short lives as we visit places they lived or frequented.
The Brontes wrote some of the most dramatic fiction right here in West Yorkshire and many of the places still exist. On our walk, we will head to where it all started at the Bronte's birthplace in Thornton. Visit the school that Charlotte Bronte immortalised as Lowood School in Jane Eyre. See Oakwell Hall which she based Fieldhead on in Shirley. Walk the wild Haworth Moors to Top Withens where Emily Bronte found inspiration for Wuthering Heights, and a whole lot more.
All the time telling the story of how the 3 Bronte Sisters came to be the famous writers we all know today.

My brother lived in Haworth for a while, so I was lucky enough to stay on occasion. I burst into tears the first time I walked into the dining room at the Parsonage, I felt so overwhelmed. 'Genius' is an over-used word, but the level of genius in this strange family was astonishing.

@@MemorySeekers , I remember very clearly reading the book "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, and also seeing something like 7 movie adaptations, and the TV adaptation of this particular book. I was fascinated by the romantic, and yet dark, and tragic aspects of the story. I only wish I had read the other books by the Bronte sisters. So very tragic about Bramwell destroying himself with ludanum(?) , and alcohol, which would have caused irreversible liver and kidney failure. 😢. Thank you again for your reply! Very much appreciated indeed! 🙏

@SpanishEclectic Жыл бұрын

@@cassandraralph5906 The other novels are great too, though the earlier ones (Agnes Grey and The Professor) have a different feel. Wuthering Heights is my favorite. Tenant of Wildfell Hall (by Anne Bronte) contains a character likely based on the brother, Branwell. The way she describes the personality and behavior of an alcoholic is chilling, and amazingly little different from what we see today. Compared to other popular novels of the day, the Brontes were very honest in their writing. I recently read a novel called Romancing Miss Bronte, a fictionalized story about Charlotte's life, which I enjoyed very much. I'm sure we will all be here next week for the Parsonage tour. Memoryseekers fans are the best! :)

Simon and Will you outdid yourselves this time. My favourite so far. What a tragic tale. So much loss. It was the way of the times but I don’t know how they handled it all. I was waiting to see if the sisters found love. Charlotte being left as the only surviving child, then she finds love and her and her unborn child die. How much we take for granted in our time. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the hard work you both put in to bring us these beautifully crafted videos. I do look forward to them every week. Much love. ❤️🇨🇦

@Historian212 Жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t assume that Charlotte found love with her husband. She married quite late, as her father was aging. For women of that era, marriage was extremely important as a way to survive, assuming the man wasn’t abusive. If she’d survived her father as a spinster, she’d have been homeless, as a new curate wouldn’t have allowed her to stay, unless he could afford to hire her as a governess for his own children, if any. She’d have needed to either find employment, or hope that her Irish or Cornish relatives could take her in. Her books subsequent to Jane Eyre didn’t sell as well. The idea of marrying only for love was still relatively new, and many people married for economic and other reasons. Patrick’s initial objection to the match may have been because there was no love there; or, perhaps, since childbirth was very dangerous for women, and Charlotte was old to have a first baby, in those days, he may also have feared for her safety. But he also would have known that were he to predecease her, she’d be hard-pressed to make a living on her own. Which may have been why he relented. How bitter for him that she died while pregnant. Life in that era was very hard.

Oh, this was so so good… I truly appreciate the time and the details that you included to make this wonderful… I do have to add though that, although the events of their lives seemed tragic and were, a part that is missing from this is their deep faith. The books have their faith in God as Christians running all through them, and I believe that the father, who saw so much pain, took refuge in the Lord to bring him through his life.

I love that novel, and did a deep dive into the history of the family, as well as reading the entire published works. It is such a treat to see the locations up close. Your final thoughts made me think of Mozart, who died at what I consider a very young age; did their talents burn bright because their lives were short, or would they have, as you said, gone on to even greater things. I am sending this on to my six favorite people, all of whom love books and everything English. Looking forward to your tour of the parsonage. Kudos!

Thank you for the walking tour of West Yorkshire and the locales familiar to the Bronte family. It makes their lives and their books more meaningful to see the physical context in which they were written. For the sake of the narrative, the scandals and controversies surrounding the sisters, particularly Charlotte's suppression of her sisters' works, were omitted. They might make a fitting subject for a future video. Anne's literary reputation especially suffered from Charlotte's misguided judgment, when Anne was in fact the most modern, realistic and insightful of the three novelists. She deserved better.

It is a very sad tale, one which I am sure was similar for many families of that era. People did die young then due to many factors. We find it quite shocking now but it was the norm back then. Knowing that they were no different to other families suffering death might have helped them come to terms with it? It was affecting every household in the area. We will touch on this more when we walk in Haworth in a future video, mortality rates were unusually high in Haworth as can be seen in the Church which is crammed full of very young locals. 😰 As others have said there were many periods of happiness for the Brontes, they seemed a very strong family.

Simon and Will this is stunning. How you have mixed in the life story of the Brontes and the sights to visit, it's magic. I listen to audio books as I work and Wuthering Heights is next on the list, I haven't read it for years. I can't wait for the sequel vlogs. Thank you as always. =-)

Haya. Sometimes words or the right words cannot always echo or express how we feel & or how we are made to feel; sometimes music can express the right emotion, without words ever spoken & this is exactly what you did here, the music & your entire filming speaks softly but the emotions that it reached are more vibrant & how you created this video for us all to enjoy is truly magical & reaches the inner senses & encapsulates the imagination deeply & I can really feel as though I was walking those very same footsteps as the family once did💙Saying thank you to you both never seems to be enough.

Thank you very much. This was lovely, and one of your highest quality so far. I am going to bring up a tiny quibble, but only because it shows another tiny sadness of the Brontë family. Patrick was offered a perpetual curacy, not a proper rectorship. He had all the duties of a proper holder of the church office of rector, but could be paid less because of the title. (Pay method complicated.) Usually a curateship is a sort of doctor's residency, where you work long hours for little or even no pay. But owing to 19th century parsimony, Patrick got this awful betwixt and between title, so his large family got less money. But he did, in his turn, have a curate to help him, but obviously had to pay him. It all adds to the tragedy.

Hello Diana, thank you for the clarification on this point. Most interesting to have this extra detail that we were not aware of. I just thought that perpetual had the same meaning as today "never ending".

Great to see the Moors in bloom and bracken! The start of the circular walk shows that maintenance on the track has been getting a bit behind schedule - from the pandemic upheavals one presumes. Lets hope that's fixed before too much erosion takes place. A stunning scenic reprise that almost makes the long past grinding through Wuthering Heights in school English classes worthwhile!

I enjoyed this video. I do feel that the father Patrick is often overlooked. He campaigned vigorously for better sanitation in Howarth after the death of all his family & many of the villagers. This led to improved sanitation, more toilets & a new reservoir as the drinking water in the village was contaminated by rotting bodies in the graveyard.
