The Brontë sisters lives and works have become modern-day cultural touchstones.

Emily Bronte, best known for her novel Wuthering Heights, began writing poetry first and, before her untimely death, wrote some of the most touching and emotive poems which often reflected the landscape of her Yorkshire home.

Charlotte Brontë, whose novel Jane Eyre has had nv umerous TV and film adaptations, took responsibility for finding a ho
me for their work. In her own words, ‘ We had very early cherished the dream of one day becoming authors’.

Anne Brontë,  author of Agnes Grey often used autobiographical elements in her poems, giving us a hints of the struggles and turmoil of her life.

These poems offer glimpses of the joys and sorrows of the Brontës and are a beautifully compelling introduction to their writing and lives.
