This addition to Palgrave Macmillan's "Author Chronologies Series" details events in the lives of the Bronte sisters and their associates. Major events such as the publication history of their works are included, and are balanced by details of Bronte domestic life. There are original discussions, in the light of chronology, of the scandal affecting the Bronte's brother, Branwell, and the imaginary kingdoms shared by all four children.
EDWARD CHITHAM has lectured at the universities of Wolverhampton and Warwick, and Newman College, and is currently a tutor at the Open University.

'Chitham is scrupulous in documenting every one of the many thousands of events listed, and...about noting any doubt or uncertainty in dating events...For the peak years of Bronte activity, many days a month are itemized...[The book] should become a standard desk and library resource for all who study the Brontes in depth.' - Bob Duckett, Editor, Bronte Studies
