Haworth, ENGLAND – Because words cannot suffice, a video essay is enclosed herein. Yet, somehow, the visual medium transplanted through the annals of the Internet also do not serve such a wild place justice. To walk on these paths is to imagine oneself in the Brontës’ shoes, and to truly see how they were inspired by their natural surroundings.
Haworth Book Recommendations:
Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, 1847.
Read in adolescence, and then again in adulthood, the book rings differently. Nevertheless, its spirited renditioning of growth in a place of quiet stagnancy is universally recognized, to no consequence for its author.
The Khan, by Saima Mir, 2021.
Picked up in nearby Bradford, this novel is written by a local, and mixes the current political climate with an authentic local flavor. Perhaps it is appropriate, then, that in the midst of high-family drama driven by the main character, an independent woman, tinges of romance still peek its way through.
Walking the Invisible, by Michael Stewart, 2021.
For the Brontë-phile, this book is dedicated to walking through the countryside inspiring the Brontë siblings. You’ll never accomplish all that is included in the book, but it is certainly fun to try.
