Haworth

Japanese: ホーワス（英語表記）Haworth

A small village near the western edge of Yorkshire in central England. It is in a mountainous area, which is rare in England, and the climate is particularly harsh in winter. Few people live in the desolate surrounding area, and there is no industry. Since the Reverend Patrick Bronte, father of the writer Bronte sisters, was appointed to the church here in 1820, the sisters spent most of their lives here until their deaths, and their solitary life in the midst of nature became a source of inspiration for them. The parsonage is now the Bronte Museum. [Shigeru Koike]

イギリス中部，ヨークシャーの西端近くにある小さな村。イギリスには珍しい山地で，気候はとくに冬が厳しく，荒涼とした周辺にはほとんど人は住みつかず，産業もない。作家ブロンテ姉妹の父，パトリック･ブロンテ牧師が1820年ここの教会に赴任して以来，姉妹はここで死ぬまでの大半を過ごし，自然の中の孤独な生活が霊感の源となった。牧師館は現在〈ブロンテ博物館〉となっている。【小池滋】
