The Bronte sisters

The Brontë family was a family dedicated to nineteenth-century English literature, whose reputation, which extends to all its members, is mainly due to the group formed by three sisters, poets and novelists:

Charlotte (born on April 21, 1816).

Emily (born July 30, 1818) .

Anne (born January 17, 1820).

 At the beginning, they publish poems and novels under masculine pseudonyms. His novels attract attention for their originality and the passion they manifest.

In their childhood, the Brontë were educated at home, except in 1823, when Charlotte and Emily studied at the religious school of Cowan Bridge in Lancashire. Charlott would created Jane Eyre (1847) the painful history of that time.

In 1842, Charlotte and Emily, moved to Brussels with the intention of learning languages, but Emily soon returned to Haworth. In 1846, the three sisters jointly published the Poems of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, which meant the break with their brother, although they only sold two copies.

 However, a year later, three works appeared that fascinated readers:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte.

Agnes Gray by Anne.

Wuthering Heights by Emily.

 Inspired by uncontrolled passions and a romantic  atmosphere, the latter has become a classic of the Gothic novel. Shortly before the death of her brother and Emily, both of whom died in 1848, Anne published The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, her last work 

Emily died of tuberculosis on December 19, 1848. Anne also died of the same illness, on May 28, 1849. In 1854 Charlotte married Reverend Nichols, deputy of her father in the parish, but she also  died consumed by tuberculosis a few years later :on March 31, 1855.
