The Brontë Sisters Collection - Jane Eyre - Wuthering Heights - The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - Unabridged (ePub)

The Brontë Sisters - Charlotte, Emily and Anne - were three of six siblings born to clergyman Patrick Brontë and his wife Maria. Charlotte attended the Clergy Daughter's School, which was so poorly run and unsanitary that she would later blame their attendance at this school for the deaths of two of her sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, both of whom died of tuberculosis. The four surviving siblings, Branwell, Emily, Anne and Charlotte, created an imaginary world called "Glass Town," and would each contribute poems, stories and geographical details of this mythical place in order to escape the difficulties of their childhood. These creative flights of fancy planted the seeds for the sisters' later literary success. At the time, the idea of publishing a female author was frowned upon, thus the sisters created a pseudonymous trio of brothers - Currer (Charlotte), Ellis (Emily) and Acton (Anne) Bell - in order to get their books into print. While all three lived to see their books in print, the enjoyment of their literary success was short-lived. The family suffered the deaths of Branwell, Emily and Anne in just a few short months in late 1848/early 1949 (the latter two of tuberculosis) and Charlotte herself, while struggling through her first, difficult pregnancy, died in 1854 at the age of thirty-eight. Few families in history have produced as many literary powerhouses as the Brontë sisters and their works have been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen.
