About this deal

Harrison, David W. (2002). The Brontes of Haworth: Yorkshire's Literary Giants: Their Lives, Works, Influences and Inspirations. Trafford Publishing. pp.75–76. ISBN 978-1-55369-809-8. Maria and Elizabeth, the two eldest siblings, died of tuberculosis in 1825. Maria was 11 and Elizabeth was 10.

At noon, Emily was worse; she could only whisper in gasps. With her last audible words, she said to Charlotte, "If you will send for a doctor, I will see him now", [73] but it was too late. She died that same day at about two in the afternoon. According to Mary Robinson, an early biographer of Emily, it happened while she was sitting on the sofa. [74] However, Charlotte's letter to William Smith Williams where she mentions Emily's dog, Keeper, lying at the side of her dying-bed, makes this statement seem unlikely.

Anne, Emily and Charlotte Brontë, by their brother Branwell ( c. 1834). He painted himself among his sisters, but later removed his image so as not to clutter the picture.

Want to know more about the Brontës? Same, honestly. For a fascinating and comprehensive look at the family’s history and their works, I highly recommend The Brontë Mythby Lucasta Miller, which is how I confirmed many of the dates and details for this blog post. This book is just a wealth of Brontë knowledge, and it’s a great read! In the American film Devotion (1946) by Curtis Bernhardt, which constitutes a biography of the Brontë sisters, Ida Lupino plays Emily, Olivia de Havilland plays Charlotte, and Nancy Coleman plays Anne.The Brontës ( / ˈ b r ɒ n t i z/) were a nineteenth-century literary family, born in the village of Thornton and later associated with the village of Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (1816–1855), Emily (1818–1848) and Anne (1820–1849), are well-known poets and novelists. Like many contemporary female writers, they published their poems and novels under male pseudonyms: Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Their stories attracted attention for their passion and originality immediately following their publication. Charlotte's Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily's Wuthering Heights, Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were accepted as masterpieces of literature after their deaths.
