AN ENDURING FLAME
The lives of the Brontës
as seen through poetry and photographs.
‘An Enduring Flame’ is a unique and moving account in poetry and photographs of the lives of the Brontës and Haworth, their home. It endeavours to bring together, for the first time, some of the poetry composed by poets throughout the world who have been inspired by the Brontës.
The book contains around ninety poems dating from the nineteenth century to modern times, and includes contributions from fifty poets including Ted Hughes, Emily Dickinson, Cecil-
Along with the poems runs a narrative which gives the background to the lives of the Brontës. Images by Simon Warner capture the landscape known to the Brontës in all its moods and through the seasons. Some photographs illustrate famous Brontë locations, but may simply echo the moods that their lives invoke.
Together this collection creates an inspired and beautiful addition to the Brontë heritage.
