This is a celebration of the lives of one of the most famous families in English literature, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bront,? who lived in Haworth in Yorkshire during the first half of the nineteenth century. ...Brian Wilkes has made a skillful selection from the prose and poetry of all the sisters to give a vivid picture of their lives. Their writings closely reflect the sisters' own experiences: for example, we see how Charlotte transformed her own ordeal at Cowan Bridge School into her account of Lowood in Jane Eyre, and how Emily used the dramatic Moorland landscape around Haworth to provide the symbolically charged backdrop to the powerful emotions at play in Wuthering Heights.
