Local News Business Briefing Local Sport Halifax Town FC ... Property Today THE story of the tragic Bronte sisters, whose writing brought them legendary status on an international scale, remains a source of fascination more than 150 years after their first works were published. Drawing their inspiration from the bleak windswept Pennine moors near their home, Charlotte, Emily and Anne left a remarkable literary legacy of powerful novels, poems and short stories. Each year, thousands of visitors from all over the world make a literary pilgrimage to Haworth - the place most associated with the Brontes - to try to absorb the atmosphere of the hilltop village and the surrounding countryside. There is the Georgian parsonage, for example, where the sisters and their brother, Branwell, lived with their bereaved father, Patrick, and where from a young age the children displayed their creative talents, writing their own adventure stories in tiny books. Nevertheless, there is much more to the Bronte history than Haworth. In neighbouring Calderdale, there are many connections with this extraordinary family including the Halifax Guardian (later incorporated into the Halifax Evening Courier).

The family moved to the Haworth parsonage in 1820, (picture one), which is now the Bronte Parsonage Museum.

Charlotte (1816-1855) was 38, Emily (1818-1848) died aged 30, and Anne was only 29 when she died in 1849. Patrick outlived all his family and died in 1861 at the age of 84. There were three other children in the family apart from the famous authors - Maria 1814-1825, Elizabeth 1815-1825 and his only son, Branwell 1817-1848.

In 1845 the Family were all together again in Haworth, they used the legacy from their aunt Miss Branwell's death in 1842 to finance a collection of their poems. The Brontes, published under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, this was due to the fact that they lived in an age of prejudice against female writers.

The Bronte Sisters 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 Bronte Family 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 was appointed the curate at Howarth in Yorkshire, 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.

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. Back to top.

Emily Bronte (1818-1848) "Emily Jane Bronte was born at Thornton in Yorkshire on 30 July 1818, the fifth of six children of Patrick and Maria Bronte (nee Branwell). Two years later, her father was appointed perpetual curate of Haworth, a small, isolated hill village surrounded by moors. Her mother died shortly after her third birthday and she and her sisters and brother were brought up by their aunt, Elizabeth Branwell. Apart from a few short periods, she remained in Haworth. Her only close friendships were those with her brother Branwell and her sisters Charlotte and Anne; only three perfunctory letters by her survive. "From accounts by those who knew Emily Jane Bronte, there emerges a consistent portrait of a reserved, courageous woman with a commanding will and manner. In the biographical note to the 1850 edition of Wuthering Heights , Charlotte Bronte attributes to her sister 'a secret power and fire that might have informed the brain and kindled the veins of a hero', while Monsignor Heger, who taught her in Brussels, was impressed by her 'powerful reason' and 'strong, imperious will'. "Emily Jane Bronte began writing poems at an early age and published twenty-one of them, together with poems by Anne and Charlotte, in 1846 in a slim volume titled

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Charlotte Bronte (1816-55) Charlotte Bronte was born in 1816, the third child of Reverend Patrick Bronte and Maria Branwell Bronte. The couple had a total of six children before Maria Bronte died of cancer in 1821. The Reverend Bronte subsequently treated his children Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Patrick Branwell, Emily, and Anne in a severe manner. He also had the five girls sent to school at Cowan Bridge. At the Clergy Daughter's school conditions were poor. When fever broke out at the school, Maria and Elizabeth succumbed to the disease. Consequently, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne were withdrawn and brought home. The children's aunt, Aunt Bess became their new instructor. Though the four children were deeply affected by the death of their two sisters they filled their spare time with endeavors to fulfill their imaginations. This was perhaps necessary given the fact that the environment that surrounded them was the dreary moor of Yorkshire, England. For example, when their father gave Patrick Branwell a box of toy soldiers, they used these miniatures as a source of inspiration to begin their respective writing adventures. Thus, the Bronte children began to write at an early age as a response to the fantasies of their youth. Charlotte Bronte was sent away to the Roe Head School in 1831. Her father's health was in jeopardy, and he wanted his daughter to be capable of being economically independent. Mrs. Wooler headed the Roe Head school. There were seven to ten students at the school during the two years that Charlotte spent at the school. The school was more like a small family than a boarding school.

Bronte. There have apparently been other such finds. They depict welsh landscapes. There is some doubt about them actually being the work of Branwell but he was known to have spent time in Wales. How many other Brontes can there be? As well as poetry perhaps this poor tragic soul finally found something that he could do really well. They are lovely little paintings.

The Bronte Sisters Researcher: Rachel Sahlman Artist: Dick Strandberg Three writers who influenced the direction of the English novel also happened to be sisters. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte were all born in Thornton, England in the early 1800s. Their father Patrick was born in Ireland, educated in England, and became an Anglican clergyman. He and his wife had six children. The two oldest daughters, Maria and Elizabeth died before reaching adulthood. Of the remaining children, Charlotte was the eldest, born April 21, 1816; followed by brother Patrick Branwell, born June 26, 1817; then Emily, born July 30, 1818; and Anne, born January 17, 1820. Shortly after Anne's birth, their father accepted a position in Haworth, located within the Yorkshire moors. Mrs. Bronte died soon after reaching Haworth, and the children were cared for by an aunt named Elizabeth Branwell. In 1824, Charlotte and Emily were sent to Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire, but they returned within a year. The treatment at Cowan Bridge was considered harsh, and Charlotte later modeled Lowood School (Jane Eyre) after it. For the next several years, the Bronte children were taught at home. They invented games and told imaginary stories to each other. Charlotte attended Miss Wooler's school at Roe Head for one year in 1831, then returned home and taught her sisters. Charlotte returned to Roe Head as a teacher in 1835, but after suffering from depression and ill health, she resigned from her position. It was at Roe Head that Charlotte met her lifelong friend Ellen Nussey. Her many letters to Nussey have served as the best documentation of her life.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Fraser's Magazine , and The Edinburgh Review . Inspired by a box of 12 wooden soldiers, the children wove tales and legends associated with remote Africa. With these tales the children broke the monotonous daily routines, like they later poured their joys and disappointment in their novels. Emily and Anne created their own Gondal saga, and Charlotte and Branwell recorded their stories in minute notebooks. In 1839 Anne worked for a short period as a governess to the Inghams at Blake Hall and later in same position to the Robinsons at Thorpe Green Hall from 1841 to 1845. Her brother Branwell joined her there as a tutor in 1843. He fell unfortunately in love for Mrs Robinson and Anne had to leave the work.

Home Author Index Shakespeare The Bible ... Charlotte Bronte Fiction Jane Eyre Shirley The Professor Villette Poetry On The Death Of Anne Bronte Charlotte Bronte Search all of Charlotte Bronte English writer noted for her novel JANE EYRE (1847), sister of Anne Brontë and Emily Brontë. The three sisters are almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels. In their works they described love more truthfully that was common in Victorian age England. In the past 40 years Charlotte Brontë's reputation has risen rapidly, and feminist criticism has done much to show that she was speaking up for oppressed women of every age. 'A little, plain, provincial, sickly-looking old maid', is how George Lewes described Charlotte Brontë to George Eliot. She was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, in the north of England. Charlotte was the daughter of an Anglican clergyman who had moved with his family to Haworth amid the Yorkshire moors in 1820. After their mother and two eldest children died, Chalotte was left with her sisters Emily and Anne and brother Branwell to the care of their father, and their strict, religious aunt, Elisabeth Branwell. To escape their unhappy surroundings, the children listened stories about the often violent behavior of the countryfolk. When other children enjoyed to play outdoors, they created imaginary kingdoms, which were built around Branwell's toy soldiers, and which inspired them to create continuing stories of fantasylands of Angria and Gondal. Charlotte attended Clergy Daughter's School in Lancashire in 1824. She returned home next year because of the harsh conditions. In 1831 she went to school at Roe Head, where she later worked as a teacher. However, she fell ill, suffered from melancholia, and gave up this post. Charlotte's attempts to earn her living as a governess were hindered by her disabling shyness, her ignorance of normal children, and her yearning to be with her sisters.
