Being a student of English Literature I have always been impressed by the writings of the Bronte Sisters ........Emily , Anne and Charlotte Bronte.They lived with thir father,brother and aunt at Howarth near Yorkshire,England.All three of them died at a young age and remained ill all throughout their lives, yet they were able to write few beautiful books of English Literature.Their mom and two older sisters died at a young age,their dad Patrick Bronte was a priest who was not very involved with their lives.Their aunt Elizabeth Barnwell raised them.All of them attended local girls boarding school in Yorkshire.Their brother Barnwell was an artist.The Bronte sisters played on the hills and trees and had imaginary friends.Their books reflect either their own life stories or of the imaginary friends they had.
Charlotte Bronte wrote 'Jane Eyre' a beautiful book about a shy girl ,it is sort of her own autobiography.'Wuthering Heights' is the only book written by Emily Bronte which is the story of a rich girl and a villager Heathcliff.Anne Bronte's book 'Agnes Grey' is about a lady who took care of others.
These three sisters led a very quite life,they were mostly self taught but they have written some of the great books of English Literature.
