Overview

Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë wrote during the 19th century, a time when women's contributions to literature were often overlooked or dismissed. Initially, they published their works under pseudonyms (Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell) to navigate the societal prejudices against female authors. Their poetry and novels explored complex emotions, challenged social norms, and offered profound insights into human nature.

As poets, the Brontë sisters exhibited a shared fascination with nature, especially the wild and desolate landscapes of their native Yorkshire. Their works often incorporated vivid descriptions of nature as a backdrop for exploring themes of love, loss, identity, and the human psyche. The sisters'

poetry is marked by their individual voices, with Emily's evocative and passionate expressions, Charlotte's introspection and emotional depth, and Anne's moral and reflective tone.

Despite their relatively short lives, the Brontë sisters left an enduring legacy through their writings. Their poetry and novels continue to captivate readers worldwide, and their contributions to literature have been recognized as remarkable examples of literary talent and feminist thought during their time and beyond.

About the Author

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), 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. The collection of poems, Poems By Currer, Ellis And Acton Bell (1846), which Charlotte wrote with her sisters, sold only two copies. Her novel The Professor never found a publisher during her lifetime. Undeterred by this rejection, Charlotte began Jane Eyre, which appeared in 1847 and became an immediate success. Jane Eyre was followed by Shirley (1848) and Vilette (1853).
