The three Brontë sisters together published a book which contained the poems written by each
one of them. The book received some favourable reviews but only sold two copies. We can
imagine how they must have been feeling after the poor reception of their first book and in
the midst of the family tragedy. Were they despairing, were they thinking of giving up?
Despite all their sorrows, worries, solitude and disappointment, the three sisters did not
despair and they continued to apply their talent and determination to writing. They have left
the world with some of the most extraordinary novels in the history of literature: Charlotte’s
most famous work is Jane Eyre, Emily’s only and equally well-known novel is Wuthering
Heights and Anne’s second novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, though less famous than the
former two, is nevertheless, just as interesting and magnificent.
The three sisters were all stricken by tuberculosis and died very young. The father outlived all
his children and the fame and recognition of their work helped him bear the tragedy of their
lives.
