English Literature->Prose & Novel->By Period->19th Century

The Bronte Sisters Web is devoted to Charlotte (1816-1855), Emily (1818-1848) and Anne Bronte (1820-1849). The three sisters from Haworth, with their somewhat unusual upbringing in their family home located in the parish graveyard, are of considerable interest to both Victorian scholars as well as English Literature scholars. Their books have been called morbid, gothic, and unconventional, but it is these qualities which holds their following. Amongst their most famous works are "Wuthering Heights" by Emily (1847), "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte (1846), and "Agnes Grey" by Anne (1847). Although their fame lies in their literature, their lives have become items of curiosity; this website acknowledges this interest with pictures of Haworth Village, Thornton Village, and the Bronte birthplace, and pages on all three sisters which include links to more sites, chronologies of their lives, and e-text versions of their works.
