The Irish heritage of the Bronte family has long been overlooked,
partly because both Charlotte and her father Patrick did their very
best to ensure that this was the case and partly because there was
a strong understanding at the end of the nineteenth century that
the Brontes were Yorkshire regional novelists. Yet their ideas and
attitudes, and perhaps even their storylines, can be traced to
Ireland. This book, which develops ideas originally published in
The Brontes' Irish Heritage in 1986, sets the record straight. By
re-evaluating the sources available, it traces Patrick's Irish
ancestry and shows how it prevented him from achieving his
ambitions; it shows how that heritage influenced his children's
writings, particularly Emily; and it sheds further light on the
genesis of Wuthering Heights.
