Brontë

The Brontës were a nineteenth-century literary family, born in the village of Thornton, near Bradford, and later associated with the village of Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

The sisters, Charlotte (1816–1855), Emily (1818–1848), and Anne (1820–1849), are well-known poets and novelists.

Like many contemporary female writers, they published their poems and novels under male pseudonyms: Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, originally.

Their stories attracted attention for their passion and originality immediately following their publication. Charlotte’s Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily’s Wuthering Heights, Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were accepted as masterpieces of literature later.

The family is so eponymous with the area around Haworth, that it is known as “Brontë Country”.
