Walking The Invisible: Following in the Brontรซs` Footsteps

Michael Stewart has been captivated by the Brontรซs since he was a child, and has travelled all over the north of England in search of their lives and landscapes. Now, he`d like to invite you into the world as they would have seen it. Following in the footsteps of the Brontรซs across meadow and moor, through village and town, award-winning writer Michael Stewart takes a series of inspirational walks through the lives and landscapes of the Bronte family, investigating the geographical and social features that shaped their work.This is a literary study of both the social and natural history that has inspired writers and walkers, and the writings of a family that have touched readers for generations. Finally we get to understand the `wild, windy moors` that Kate Bush sang about in `Wuthering Heights`, see the imposing halls that may have inspired Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre, and learn about Bramwell`s affair with a real life Mrs Robinson while treading the same landscapes. As well as describing in vivid detail the natural beauty of the moors and their surroundings, `Walking the Invisible` also encompasses the history of the north and the changing lives of those that have lived there.”I want you to walk with me but to see through their eyes as I compare the times they lived in with the times we live in now. Let`s start in the village where they were born. Put your boots on.”
