Produced by StevenGibbs and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Brontë Family, with special reference to Patrick Branwell Brontë. Vol. 1" by Francis A. Leyland is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Brontë family, particularly focusing on the often overlooked figure of Patrick Branwell Brontë, who is typically mentioned only in the context of his more famous sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. The book aims to shed light on the family dynamics, parental influences, and the broader social circumstances that shaped the Brontës as literary figures. The opening of this volume introduces the reader to the context of the Brontë family's life, detailing the early circumstances of Patrick Brontë’s life, including his background, education, and eventual appointment as a curate. Leyland critiques previous biographers for presenting a skewed perspective on Patrick Branwell's character and life, which has overshadowed the contributions of the sisters. The narrative sets the stage by exploring the family’s origins, emphasizing connections with their father, Patrick Brontë, and highlighting the dual influences of their home life and regional culture, which would later manifest in their literary achievements. The author also foreshadows a deeper examination of the siblings’ relationships and the impact of Branwell’s life on their writing as the book unfolds.
