| This website will be incomplete without a mention of the Brontė Sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne who made a major contribution to the literary world in the first half of the nineteeth century with their novels such as Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenent of Wild Boar Fell. The three famous sisters also had a fourth sister who shunned the limelight and a brother, Patrick Branwell Brontė who made a small contribution to writing with a collection of poems. |

The area centred on Haworth, but including
Keighley, Steeton, Glusburn and the moors above those
towns are refered to as Brontė Country and in the early
years of the Industrial Revolution were an inspiration to
the sisters. The Brontė Parsonage Museum shows how the sisters lived and depicts their work. The sisters lie buried within the adjacent church and not the graveyard. www.bronte-country.comHaworth - home to the Brontės. |
