http://www.incompetech.com/authors/bbronte

Extractions: Google Incompetech . He and his sisters grew up in the town of Haworth, a relatively isolated place, though not so bad as you may have heard. Maria died of cancer in 1821, and the two oldest daughters died of consumption in 1825 , which made the four surviving kids ( Charlotte , Branwell, Emily , and Anne ) really stick together. Together they created the worlds of Gondal and Angria, epic sorts of kingdoms populated partly by Branwell's toy soldiers. Branwell and Charlotte worked together on poems and stories about Angria (leaving Anne and Emily to work together on Gondal), and though he was very fond of writing, it was decided early on that Branwell would be a painter . He was apprenticed to a portrait painter named William Robinson, who passed all of his bad habits along to Branwell. William's most notable failure as a teacher was in neglecting to show Branwell the proper way to mix paint. His portrait of his sisters, which now hangs in the National Gallery and is quite popular, shows the problem with this: Branwell had originally put himself in the painting, then decided to remove his likeness by painting over it. This paint is now fading, revealing Branwell's ghostly image. Neat! In any case, Branwell quickly gave up the idea of making a living as a portrait painter. In late 1839, he went to tutor two boys in the Lake District

http://www.moglit.demon.co.uk/rpg/york/who/branwell.htm

Extractions: Main Index Who's Who Branwell first came to the attention of the Kindred of York through his early attempts at poetry. Although these were notably unsuccessful, they attracted the interest of Marie, who found the moody and passionate young man enchanting. As 'Mrs. Robinson', she invited him to some of her mortal gatherings. Branwell was desperately in love with her and thought of nothing but ways of keeping her passion for himself. Her free manners and numerous other young male companions drove him to despair and he addressed a great deal of rather bad but very impassioned poetry to her. Marie had been pursued by ardent and despairing mortal lovers before and had acquired a high resistance to poems of any quality. Never the less, she found his fevered attentions amusing. She permitted him to seduce her and Branwell joined her little set of ghouls. Then, Lord Marcus met Branwell at one of Marie's parties. He conceived one of his great passions for the young man and set about trying to seduce him away from Marie. It might have remained nothing more than a brief obsession and would probably have passed, but for Marie. Seeing an opportunity to spite Marcus she petitioned the Council for permission to Embrace the young man. Although she didn't really mean to carry it through, she knew it would drive Marcus mad. In fact that's exactly what it did. Marcus waylaid Branwell as he was leaving Marie's house one night. Without explanation, he attacked, drained and Embraced him. The experience proved too traumatic for the already unbalanced young man. He reacted to Marcus with loathing and proved too difficult for even Marie to properly control. In the first few months of his unlife, he escaped from her control several times. He Embraced his two younger sisters, even travelling to Scarborough where Anne had been moved for her protection.

The Branwell/Brontë Samplers
Following in the footsteps of their mother, the bronte sisters began sewing samplers before they picked up their pens, as this article explains. On December 29, 1812, Maria branwell married Reverend Patrick Brontë. In 1820 the family moved to Haworth, West
http://www2.sbbs.se/hp/cfalk/sampler.htm

Extractions: Maria's sampler is the first of a unique family collection. The collection is not unique for the style or technical expertise displayed by the embroiderers. It's interest lies in the fact that three of Maria's daughters grew up to become noted Victorian authors; the Brontë sisters. M aria's sisters, Ann, Margaret, and Elizabeth Branwell each completed a similar sampler worked in the same dark green silk. Ann Branwell, later Ann Kingston, signed but did not date her sampler. Margaret Branwell signed and dated her work March 23, 1799. Sister Elizabeth finished her signed sampler on 11 October. The date has been lost due to a torn corner. O n December 29, 1812, Maria Branwell married Reverend Patrick Brontë. In 1820 the family moved to Haworth, West Yorkshire, England, where Maria died a year later. In 1822 Maria's youngest sister, Elizabeth began caring for the six Brontë children. That same year the eldest Brontë children, Maria, age 8, Elizabeth, age 7, and Charlotte, age 6, each completed a sampler similar to that described earlier, except that they were worked entirely in ginger brown wool. I n 1824 the three sisters, along with Emily, age 6, were sent off to a clergy daughter's boarding school. Within a few months the two older sisters became ill and died of tuberculosis. Charlotte and Emily returned to Haworth parsonage and their remaining siblings Branwell, age 7, and Anne, age 4. While at Haworth the children spent much of their time writing involved melodramatic chronicles. Traces of this early writing surface in the sister's later works.

http://www.moglit.demon.co.uk/rpg/york/who/anneb.htm

Extractions: Main Index Who's Who Member of the Leeds Toreador group, she has forgiven her brother Branwell for her Embrace. She enjoys the social whirl of Toreador life which she feels makes up for her isolation and tedious life as a mortal. For a Leeds Toreador, Anne is rather modern in her dress and speech. Anne has little contact with Emily. She doesn't understand her sister's passion for the Moors or her anachronistic dress. She avoids Emily, partly because they have little in common any more and partly because Anne doesn't want to damage her standing in Marie's eyes by associating too much with a friend of Anne Cartwright's. The only place they regularly meet is the Bradford Mechanic's Institute Library, which is regarded as neutral ground. However, Anne still reads her sister's books and also writes herself. Anne's books are mostly biographies of kine, for the research of which she find her Presence and Auspex very handy. After Marie, Anne is probably the most socially ambitious Toreador in the fief. She is very concious of status and position, even for a Toreador. She is usually one step ahead in the prestation game and can always be relied upon for an accurate assesment of who is on the way up or down. In Elysium she is often referred to (affectionately and not so affectionately) as 'the Harpy'. Anne would dearly love to become the Toreador Primogen of the fief. However, the only way for this to happen is if Marie leaves the fief, dies or becomes the Prince. Anne feels that the last option is by far the most likely and would be willing to help Marie in any way she could. At the moment, Anne is working on her own position. She hopes that soon she come to be regarded as an Elder in the fief. She is rather jealous of Anne Cartwright who achieved her own rather early recognition as an Elder by 'founding' the Bradford Toreador faction. Anne Bronte feels that this is not really playing the game.

http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/1380/emily.htm

Extractions: Emily Jane Bronte was born July 30, 1818, at Thornton in Yorkshire, the fifth of six children of Patrick and Maria Bronte (nee Branwell). Two years after her birth, her father was appointed curate of Haworth , an isolated village on the moors. Both of Emily's parents had literary leanings; her mother published one essay, and her father wrote four books and dabbled in poetry. In 1821, shortly after Emily's third birthday, Maria died of cancer. Maria's sister, Elizabeth, came to live as a housekeeper and was responsible for training the girls in the household arts. Although Emilydid spend a few short times away from Haworth, it was her primary residence and the rectory where she resided now serves as a Bronte Museum. Emily's only close friends were her brother Branwell and her sisters Charlotte and Anne. In 1824, the four eldest daughters were sent to Cowan Bridge School, a school for daughters of impoverished clergymen. The conditions were harsh and an epidemic soon broke out, taking the lives of Maria and Elizabeth. Charlotte becames very ill as well, and she and Emily were sent home to Haworth. About this time, Branwell, the only boy in the family, received a box of twelve wooden soldiers. The children began to write stories about them called the "Young Men" plays. In 1835, Charlotte became a teacher at Roe Head school and Emily joined her as a student. Emily, however, could not stand being away from her beloved moors, and became violently homesick. She returned home and her younger sister, Anne, took her place.

Extractions: Google Incompetech [Actually a portion of a long poem which was part of the Angrian story, this tells of Sir Henry's reaction upon returning home after sixteen years as a soldier in India.] They fancied, when they saw me home returning, That all my soul to meet with them was yearning, That every wave I'd bless which bore me hither; They thought my spring of life could never wither. That in the dry the green leaf I could keep, As pliable as youth to laugh or weep; They did not think how oft my eyesight turned Toward the skies where Indian Sunshine burned, That I had perhaps left an associate band, That I had farewells even for that wild Land; They did not think my head and heart were older, My strength more broken and my feelings colder, That spring was hastening into autumn sere - And leafless trees make loveliest prospects drear - That sixteen years the same ground travel o'er Till each wears out the mark which each has left before.

http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/staff/visitors/kenji/kitao/bronte.htm

Extractions: Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Bronte were three sisters who all wrote poetry and novels. Charlotte and Emily, in particular, have had an important influence on English literature. The parents of the Bronte sisters were Patrick Bronte, born in 1777 in Ireland, and Maria Branwell, born in Cornwall in 1783. They were married in 1812. Patrick, who received a degree from Cambridge, was a clergyman. Both of the Bronte parents had an interest in literature. Patrick published unremarkable volumes of prose and poetry, and Maria's unpublished writings show some literary talent. They had six children, five girls and one boy, who were born between 1813 and 1820. Patrick, a clergyman, was appointed the curate at Howarth in Yorkshire, where he spent the rest of his life, and where the Bronte children grew up. Located on the Yorkshire moors, this setting was to have a great influence on the sisters' later writing. Maria died in 1821, and three years later, the four older girls, Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, and Emily, were sent to boarding school. The conditions there were harsh, and the girls were very unhappy. Charlotte later used the boarding school as a model for Lowood in Jane Eyre . The two oldest sisters died there, and Charlotte and Emily returned to Howarth.

Extractions: Childhood Maria and Elizabeth died from tuberculosis. The four surviving children, with only five years separating them, became a close and exclusive band. Education and Personality Branwell may have attended Haworth Grammar School for a short period when he was young. If he did, it was the only education he received outside his own home. He received his primary education, along with his sisters, from Aunt Branwell; visiting masters taught drawing and music, and his father tutored him in the classics, and introduced him to very wide reading. Branwell was a willing scholar with a precocious intellect. His translations of Horace's Odes were to receive critical acclaim; he played the organ in his father's church, and he aspired to being a professional portrait painter. Physically small with flaming red hair, Branwell was impulsive and quick-witted, and he had a penchant for showing off in company. Career In 1838 Branwell set himself up as a professional portrait painter in a rented studio in Bradford. He made many friends among the artistic community of the Bradford pubs, but he failed to make a living. In 1840 he took a position as tutor to a family at Broughton-In-Furness in Westmorland, but he was sacked within a year. From October 1841 to April 1842 he worked on the Leeds Manchester Railway, first as Clerk at Sowerby Bridge, and then as Clerk-In-Charge at Luddenden, from where, having missed a discrepancy in the accounts, he was sacked. At the beginning of 1843, his sister
