Features: Among the sisters of the Bront? family, two became world-famous female writers—Charlotte and Emily. Their works, including Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette, and Wuthering Heights, are still beloved by readers around the world over a hundred years later. People continue to read, study, and research these works, although some may now hold differing opinions about certain of them. However, it was indeed not an easy task for them to create such a group of women's characters as Jane Eyre, Shirley, and Lucy in the 19th century, all of whom pursued independence, freedom, and personal liberation. This book describes Charlotte Bront? and Emily Bront?, a pair of literary sisters who grew up on the moors. They shared extraordinary talent, fame in literature, tragic fates, and deaths at a young age.
