THE social and natural history that shaped the Brontes is explored in a new book tracing the literary family’s footsteps. Walking the Invisible, by Michael Stewart, follows the Bronte Stones trail, taking a series of walks through landscapes and buildings familiar to the family and investigating the geographical and social features that shaped their lives and writing. The book also compares the times they lived in with the present. Michael, who lives in Thornton, where Emily, Charlotte, Anne and Branwell Bronte were born, became captivated by the Brontes after he left school and discovered a copy of Wuthering Heights in a library. “I never encountered the works of the Brontes at school. We were told we weren’t bright enough,” he said.

Nursing and drama students collaborate on a project to reap benefits for mental health patients
Nursing and drama students from across the University of Huddersfield are collaborating on a ground-breaking project where role-playing could reap benefits for mental health patients.
The students, from the Nursing (Mental Health) BSc and Drama BA courses, have worked on a range of scenarios involving patients, healthcare professionals and carers to help prepare the nursing students for situations they could encounter both during placements and after graduating.
The drama students have also learned about how to apply their acting skills in unexpected areas, and the hope is that like their nursing counterparts, this will help prepare them for their professional career.
