Brontë sisters
Yorkshire novelist trio
The Brontë sisters were three English novelists—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—who wrote during the 1840s.
Charlotte wrote *Jane Eyre*, Emily wrote *Wuthering Heights*, and Anne wrote *The Tenant of Wildfell Hall*.
They published under male pseudonyms and died young, but their work established them among the most influential writers of the Victorian era.
