title = "Anne Bront{\"e} and Geology: A Study of her Collection of Stones",
abstract = "This research is focussed on Anne Bront{\"e}{\textquoteright}s collection of stones, which are housed at the Bront{\"e} Parsonage Museum, and how they connect to her time in Scarborough. Obtained during the {\textquoteleft}golden age{\textquoteright} of geology, the collection was recently recharacterized using Raman spectroscopy. In this interdisciplinary study, we explore possible sources of the stones and the different factors that may have influenced Anne to obtain and maintain her collection of stones. The significance of Anne Bront{\"e}{\textquoteright}s stones and her connections to mineralogy and geology reveal Anne{\textquoteright}s interest, knowledge and abilities within these fields.",
