The Mother of the Brontës: When Maria met Patrick

At long last, the untold story of the mysterious Mrs Brontë. They were from different lands, different worlds almost. The chances of Cornish gentlewoman Maria Branwell even meeting the poor Irish curate Patrick Brontë in Regency England, let alone falling passionately in love, were remote. Yet Maria and Patrick did meet, making a life together in the heartland of the industrial revolution. An unlikely romance and novel wedding were soon followed by the birth of six children. They included Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë, the most gifted literary siblings the world has ever known. Yet Maria has remained an enigma while the fame of her family spread across the world. It is time to bring her out of the shadows.
