Description

|
Patrick Brontė (17771861) was the father of novelists Anne, Charlotte, and Emily as well as their brother Branwell, yet he was also a fascinating man in his own right, says Dudley Green in this "thorough, well-written, absorbing, and sympathetic biography" (Historical Novels Review). A lifetime member of the Brontė Society and the editor of Patrick's letters, Green paints a far more sympathetic character than did Elizabeth Gaskell in her Life of Charlotte Brontė, of a man who raised himself up from poverty in Ireland to become curate of Haworth, found a school, oppose capital punishment, support Catholic emancipation, and write poetry.
