"The Brontë Family, with special reference to Patrick Branwell Brontë. Vol. 2" by Francis A. Leyland is a historical account published in the late 19th century. The work provides an in-depth exploration of the lives of the Brontë family, with a particular focus on Branwell Brontë, offering insights into the personal struggles, educational pursuits, and literary ambitions of the siblings. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of their formative experiences, including their time in Brussels and the various emotional and familial challenges they faced. The opening of this volume details Charlotte and Emily Brontë's decision to pursue their education in Brussels, along with the complexities that followed, such as their contrasting feelings about leaving home and their experiences at Madame Héger's school. Charlotte is portrayed as ambitious and eager, while Emily is depicted as more melancholic and connected to their Yorkshire roots. The narrative also touches on familial issues, including the death of their aunt, which had a profound emotional impact on them. Through this vivid exploration of their early aspirations and the relationships that shaped them, the book sets the stage to further examine not just the literary achievements of the Brontës, but the personal trials that profoundly influenced their works.
