Résumé
"The Brontës' Christmas" invites you to step back in time and explore the delights of a Victorian Christmas through the eyes of our most beloved authors. While the Brontë family's celebrations weren't the most exuberant, Victorian society cheerfully embraced the newfound idea of Christmas as a time for feasts, decorations, the exchanging of gifts and parlour games. Through a selection of seasonal recipes, letters, poetry and extracts, "The Brontës' Christmas" meanders back in time to explore long-forgotten customs, including Vessel Maids and furmenty ; the spice cake that Charlotte took around to her husband's parishioners ; and childhood games enjoyed by the family.
This festive season, curl up and experience a Haworth Christmas.
