The Brontë sisters—
Charlotte (born
April 21,
1816),
Emily (born
July 30,
1818), and
Anne (born
January 17,
1820)—were
English writers of the
1840s and
1850s. Their novels caused a sensation when they were first published and were subsequently accepted into the canon of great English literature.They were the daughters of Reverend
Patrick Brontë (otherwise Brunty or Prunty), who was born in
County Down,
Ireland. They grew up in
Haworth,
Yorkshire, surviving their mother and two elder sisters into adulthood. In 1824 the four eldest Brontë daughters were enrolled as pupils at the Clergy Daughter's School at Cowan Bridge. The following year Maria and Elizabeth, the two eldest daughters, became ill, left the school and died; Charlotte and Emily, understandably, were brought home.
