Without The Veil Between, An Interview With DM Denton — Anne Brontë


Thank you to Brontë scholar and biographer Nick Holland for interviewing me on his blog.
Loved Nick’s questions! Please go over to annebronte.org for my answers to:

♦“You’ve become noted for your historical fiction, but what made you pick Anne Brontë for a subject?”

♦The book’s title is ‘Without the Veil Between, Anne Brontë: A Fine and Subtle Spirit’. What was the inspiration for the title?

♦The book features your own illustrations. Did Anne Brontë’s drawing skills inspire you, as well as her writing skills?

♦Your book looks at Anne Brontë’s time at Thorp Green Hall and at her relationship with William Weightman. Do you think she loved Weightman and did he love her?

♦What is your favourite Anne Brontë poem and why?

♦What message does Anne have for people today?

♦Your book has, quite rightly, had some great reviews – do you think you’ll return to the Brontë family for future books?

♦What do you think Anne and her sisters would have thought of the worldwide fame they’ve achieved two hundred years after their births?

♦What are you working on at the moment?
