Where were the Brontë sisters actually born? If this was a quiz question, most people would give the wrong answer. Even standard books on the Brontë family often gloss over the fact that Charlotte, Emily and Anne – along with their wayward brother Branwell – were all born between 1815 and 1820 in Thornton, a village on the edge of Bradford, and not at the famous Brontë Parsonage in nearby Haworth. The original hearth in front of which they were born – and the modest terraced property in Market Street, Thornton still housing that historic fireplace – is surprisingly little-known even among Bronte enthusiasts. All that is about to change. A group of dedicated volunteers, backed by a couple of grants and a lot of crowdfunding, has just bought the long-neglected house and will soon embark on transforming it into an arts and education project with a difference. Under the banner ‘Be More Brontë', local youngsters will be introduced to the Bronte sisters, hear about wonderful books such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and be encouraged to explore their imaginations and their own future dreams. By 2025, the Brontë Birthplace will be open to the public, featuring a café, a lively programme of educational, community and creative events, and even three guest rooms (named after Charlotte, Emily and Anne respectively) where visitors can stay the night. In this podcast, Duncan McCargo talks to two Brontë Birthplace committee members about the project, and about what the Brontes mean to them. Christa Ackroyd is a former regional television news presenter, while Steve Stanworth is a local historian responsible for the restoration of the nearby Brontë Bell Chapel site. Your support is still needed: please visit brontebirthplace.com to offer financial assistance, or to find out how you can get involved. Duncan McCargo is a professor of global affairs at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and a host on the NBN Literature Channel.

Writer Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun and The Instant, takes her friend, poet Zaffar Kunial, to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, West Yorkshire. Together they explore the former home of the Brontë sisters – Charlotte, Emily and Anne – and see where some of their most famous novels were written. From the dining table where the sisters shared their work, to early reviews of Wuthering Heights, intimate objects and artefacts prompt conversations about Amy and Zaffar's own inspirations as writers. And, after exploring the house and museum, they head out into the landscape and discover a poem in the wild. Notes: The exhibition Defying Expectations: Inside Charlotte Brontë's Wardrobe is at the Brontë Parsonage Museum until 1 January 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Find yourself transported into the front room of the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth where your hostesses Audrey and Olivia will lead you on a romp through the lives and letters of Charlotte Brontë (author of Jane Eyre) and Emily Brontë (best known for Wuthering Heights)—with a few zany detours. The duo's blundering comedy is right out of the British farce playbook.

Emily Brontë’s portrait, by her brother Patrick Branwell Brontë, hangs in Room 24 at the National Portrait Gallery. For many years the paintings was lost, and only discovered in 1906, folded on top of a cupboard in Ireland. Today, it is one of the most popular works in the collection. Emily is best known as the author of Wuthering Heights, first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. It is regarded as a pioneering text, drawing on themes of the Gothic genre; a love story that also touches on issues of domestic violence, alcoholism, neglect, and sexual obsession, against a backdrop of a wild Yorkshire landscape. Laura Barton travels to the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth to meet the museum’s learning officer Sue Newby and the New York Times bestselling graphic novelist and illustrator Isabel Greenberg, whose forthcoming book Glass Town explores the childhood imaginary world of the Brontë sisters. Together they discuss the unique, unconventional spirit of Emily. Thank you to The Unthanks who granted us permission to include their beautiful music, which turns Emily's poetry into song. Words by Emily Brontë. Music by Adrian McNally. Performed by The Unthanks. Image: Emily Brontë by Patrick Branwell Brontë. Oil on canvas, circa 1833. © National Portrait Gallery, London.
