Welcome for the last time this season to the next episode of Past Loves - the new weekly history podcast that explores affection, infatuation and attachment across time.
This week I am joined by award-winning journalist and author Sharon Wright to discuss the relationship between Maria Branwell and Patrick Brontë - the love story at the heart of this legendary literary family.
With their undeniable legacy, Maria and Patrick's relationship has been somewhat obscured by history. So Sharon's investigative work weaving together the story of when Maria met Patrick is extremely special. Be prepared to fall in love with this pair as Maria traverses early 19th-century England to her destiny in Yorkshire with her Irish sweetheart, before they enjoy a truly unique wedding. And this was the beginning of this iconic family and a story that should not be forgotten.
