Summary

Do you want to learn more about the Bronte Sisters, but don’t have time to rlisten to huge, long biographies? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of their lives.

The Brontes are one of the most famous literary families the world has ever known.

Since the 19th century Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Bronte have all played their part in captivating hearts and minds with their passionate novels as well as touching reader’s souls with their moving poetry. Even their brother Branwell Bronte and father Patrick Bronte enjoyed a measure of success with their verses.

  • Father Patrick, mother Maria, the births of the Bronte children.
  • The move to Haworth, early deaths and schooling.
  • Missing home, the heath and learning to be governesses.
