In the comic series Die (2018) by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Stephanie Hans, three of the locations on the icosahedron shaped world are Gondal, Angria and Glass Town based on the Brontë juvenilia. [152] [153] In issue #9, Charlotte is a narrative character and reveals the connection between the world of Die, her siblings and their paracosms. Charlotte is also featured on the cover of the issue. [154] [155] It was less than three months after Branwell's death, which led Martha Brown, a housemaid, to declare that "Miss Emily died of a broken heart for love of her brother". [76] Emily had grown so thin that her coffin measured only 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide. The carpenter said he had never made a narrower one for an adult. [77] Her remains were interred in the family vault in St Michael and All Angels' Church, Haworth.
Martin's fantastic architecture is reflected in the Glass Town and Angrian writings, where he appears himself among Branwell's characters [47] and under the name of Edward de Lisle, the greatest painter and portraitist of Verdopolis, [48] the capital of Glass Town. One of Sir Edward de Lisle's major works, Les Quatre Genii en Conseil, is inspired by Martin's illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost. [49] Together with Byron, John Martin seems to have been one of the artistic influences essential to the Brontës' universe. [46] Déluge by John Martin Anne's morals and realism [ edit ] 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. [75]English singer-songwriter Kate Bush released a song titled " Wuthering Heights" in 1978 to critical success. Coincidentally, Bush and Emily share the same Birthday, 140 years apart. A cover version of Bush's song was included on the Pat Benatar album Crimes of Passion, bringing it a much larger audience. Charlotte Brontë ( / ˈ ʃ ɑːr l ə t ˈ b r ɒ n t i/, commonly /- t eɪ/; [1] 21 April 1816– 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of English literature. Barker 1995, p.262: "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure will she have for it, even as an accomplishment and a recreation." The place of Wuthering Heights in the literary canon is assured": see the synopsis of Wuthering Heights in the Critical commentary of Heather Glen, p.351.

In May 1846 Charlotte, Emily, and Anne self-financed the publication of a joint collection of poems under their assumed names Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The pseudonyms veiled the sisters' sex while preserving their initials; thus Charlotte was Currer Bell. "Bell" was the middle name of Haworth's curate, Arthur Bell Nicholls whom Charlotte later married, and "Currer" was the surname of Frances Mary Richardson Currer who had funded their school (and maybe their father). [22] Of the decision to use noms de plume, Charlotte wrote: Spencer, Neil (17 February 2019). "The Unthanks: Lines review – national treasures sing Emily Brontë and Maxine Peake". The Observer– via www.theguardian.com. The enduring myth of the Brontës living a life of unrelieved isolation and tragedy was, to some extent, created unintentionally by themselves. Through choosing to write under pseudonyms, the sisters immediately drew a veil of mystery around themselves, as people wondered who Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell really were. Charlotte added to the myth, when, in her 1850 'Biographical Notice' of her sisters, she attempted to protect them from their critics' accusations of 'brutality' by portraying them as unlearned, unworldly young women, writing by instinct rather than design.

What shall I do without you? How long are we likely to be separated? Why are we to be denied each other's society- I long to be with you. Why are we to be divided? Surely, Ellen, it must be because we are in danger of loving each other too well- [58] Ellen, I wish I could live with you always. I begin to cling to you more fondly than ever I did. If we had but a cottage and a competency of our own, I do think we might live and love on till Death without being dependent on any third person for happiness... In 2016 a BBC TV drama, To Walk Invisible, was made about the initial success of their novels and the death of Branwell. Anne was not as celebrated as her other two sisters. Her second novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, was prevented from being republished after Anne's death by her sister Charlotte, who wrote to her publisher that "it hardly appears to me desirable to preserve. The choice of subject in that work is a mistake, it was too little consonant with the character, tastes and ideas of the gentle, retiring inexperienced writer." This prevention is considered to be the main reason for Anne's being less renowned than her sisters. [94] The letter from Anne to Ellen Nussey, of 5 April 1849. Anne hoped that the sea air would improve her health, as recommended by the doctor, and Charlotte agreed to go. [133]The novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, Charlotte's first biographer, was also responsible for perpetuating some of the myths. When she published The Life of Charlotte Brontë in 1857, two years after Charlotte's death, she wrote from a novelist's perspective, perceiving Charlotte's life as one of tragedy as she nobly sacrificed herself to duty. The Brontës took on a heroic status often applied to those who die young. Food was scarce, often little more than porridge, resulting in vitamin deficiencies. Public hygiene was non-existent and lavatories were basic. The facilities at the parsonage were no more than a plank across a hole in a hut at the rear, with a lower plank for the children. In her thirties, Charlotte was described as having a toothless jaw by such persons as Mrs Gaskell, who stated in a letter dated 25 August 1850 to Catherine Winkworth: "large mouth and many teeth gone". [138] However, food was reasonably plentiful in the family. They ate from well filled plates of porridge in the morning and piles of potatoes were peeled each day in the kitchen while Tabby told stories about her country, or Emily revised her German grammar. Sometimes Mr Brontë would return home from his tours of the village with game donated by the parishioners. The following year she died aged 38. The cause of death given at the time was tuberculosis, but it may have been complicated with typhoid fever (the water at Haworth being likely contaminated due to poor sanitation and the vast cemetery that surrounded the church and the parsonage) and hyperemesis gravidarum from her pregnancy that was in its early stage.
