Abstract
A brief study of the formative influences of the Brontës of Haworth, Yorkshire, indicates the perhaps somewhat neglected background of his youthful education, at St John’s College, Cambridge, of their famous father, Patrick Brontë. He was very fortunate, as an impoverished Irish Protestant, to gain admission to that illustrious Cambridge college, and so into the Anglican establishment: culturally as well as theologically. The religious aspects apart, we can observe here the classical books that formed Patrick Brontë’s mind and heart, perhaps in the end rather lost to sight amidst the bleak Yorkshire moorlands that provided his three gifted daughters with the inspiration for their famous novels.
