Rating:  - for this reviewer, the best dramatisation of the life of the Bronte Sisters
Discovering the Brontes in my teens in the seventies and subsequently becoming a member of the Bronte Society for over ten years, I remember this series reached an almost mythological status. It originated here in the UK on Yorkshire television from 1974 and though, at Society meetings in London, everyone by reputation praised it, none of us had actually seen it! It had probably never been shown on television outside of the Yorkshire area. Then in the mid-nineties it was released as a plain-wrapped ... Read More
Rating: - Great for Bronte lovers but perhaps a bit of a bore for others
I've loved the story of the Bronte family ever since I read Jane Eyre at age eleven and have since read everything I could about this unusual, talented family. This production follows closely the facts of their lives as I have understood them though the first half especially focuses so much on Branwell that Charlotte, Emily and Anne fall in to the background. As another reviewer wrote Charlotte's time in Belgium could have been expanded especially since it so heavily influenced her writing in both ... Read More
Rating: - VICTORIAN DAYS OF THE BRONTES
THE BRONTES OF HAWORTH, AND BRONTE COUNTRY ARE GOOD INVESTMENTS FOR INFORMATION ON THE VICTORIAN DAYS/PERIOD. LIFESTYLES,CULTURE,THE EMPHASIS ON WRITING AND WITH ARTISTIC PENMANSHIP, ARE ALL PART OF THE BRONTE COUNTRY DVD AS WELL AS IN THE BRONTES OF HAWORTH. MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY AUTHORS ABOUT THE BRONTES PERSONAL LIFE AS WELL AS THE SIGNS OF VICTORIAN TIMES. THE BRONTES OF HAWORTH DVD, WAS LIKE ME VIEWING THE LIFE AND TIME OF THE VICTORIAN DAYS OF OLD. IT WAS EASY TO STEP BACK INTO TIME,VIEWING ... Read More
Rating:  - The Brontes Redux
I feel almost guilty in commenting on a television production more than 30 years old, but I continue lest some other unwary admirer of the Brontes wastes money on this video. To the best of my knowledge the lives of the Brontes have been recreated on film only three times: here and in "Devotion" (Warner Brothers, 1946) and "Les Soeurs Bronte" (1979) I grant that "Devotion" is more fiction than fact, but it does capture something of the Bronte myth. This production--titled "The Brontes of Haworth"--gives ... Read More
Rating: - What were these people thinking?
My British lit class watched about 10 minutes of this bizarre pseudo-biography. Among the strange sites was an actress inexplicably dressed in a regency gown with short cropped blonde hair. She was supposed to be Emily! Meanwhile two actors in modern dress recited one of Emily Bronte's early verse narratives with American accents. All I can say is I hope the school district did not spend a lot of money on this tape.
