I read Jane Eyre at age 13, having been sent away to a brutal Catholic boarding school days after my 12th birthday. I identified strongly with Jane and read the book more times than I can count. I live in Italy now, and have read it in Italian. I read Wuthering Heights at age 14. I had to read the dialogue out loud to understand it. I went on to have a similar love story with a boy when I was 21. We broke up and reunited three times until I was 40. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is one of my favourite books. They were all so brilliant, those sisters. I've often wondered how it all began that caused Branwell to squander his gift.

Beautiful documentary. The sisters didn't live long lives. Their words and works are truly a wonderful read

Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights remains the best in my list of novels. 🖤

The first Bronte's books that I read was "Jane Eyre" , an abridged edition and translated into Indonesian. I was 14 1/2 at that time , living in the city of Bandung , West Java , Indonesia. It was amazing that 14 years later , I won a scholarship to study at Bradford University. The city of Bradford is about 1 hour away by bus to Haworth ❤️❤️❤️ coincidence ? Dream came true ?

I do so appreciate Anne and yes, her work has not had the accolades it deserves.

I love reading their novels Jane Eyre is my favourite . Wuthering heights and agnes gray truly well written and all by hand . Can read them all over again never get tired of them

There should be more of these wonderful documentaries 👏👏

In 1988 I lived in England for 4 months and got to go to the Parsonage at Haworth where the family lived with their crazy preacher father. None of these girls got a chance at life. I saw the table where they wrote and “perambulated” with their elbows locked together and reading their bits of their stories as they went along. I saw the red sofa Ann died on. And the pub where their only brother drank regularly. The drunk men spilling out of the pub only a half a block away and staggering toward the Bronte home where the father didn’t allow curtains as he feared fire. So the creative girls were virtually on display for a bunch of drunks, and this is the atmosphere they wrote in. Truly a miracle to write under those conditions. Outside of their windows were headstones. Rotting bodies. Drunks, a crazy paranoid religious father. I wrote two poems about the girl writers and they are now in the Bronte museum in Haworth. Their town is beautiful and quaint, but in their day it must have been incredibly difficult. Thanks so much for this video, very well done and it was wonderful to see the town again and the old stone buildings. Those girls were born too soon. I wrote 100 poems in the 4 months I was there, including the 2 about the Bronte sisters. When I get it published, I will put the picture of me lying in the wild heather on their moors behind their home on the back cover. The beauty and the atmosphere (still very victorian feeling) of England, and Haworth and the parsonage their wrote such incredible books in really felt as tho there was still something of their essence left there where they all died.

Wuthering heights is my favourite film and the song by Kate Bush love bronte country

Very good documentary. Thanks for posting!

It is such a beautiful documentary and I love the way that they represent them because not a enough people know about the Bronte sisters

I love all the Bronte sister's novels. I started reading great writers at a very young age. Anne was my favorite. "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall." Thank you for this documentary. 🌹🌹🌹 I love libraries. ❤️ Although my papa had a love of books, a library of his he let me use and left to me. He instilled in me the love of literature, poetry, philosophy, and history, a leathered bound book. This love of reading has remained with me all my life.

How a brain works marvellously when left to its vices and not constantly bombarded with social media notifications ! There definitely is a decline in human innovation, literature and imagination since we are all stuck to our phones

Excellent choice. I did hear mention of Charlotte Bronte's anti Catholic prejudice. That confirmed the feeling I got reading Villette. All the English Protestant characters were good and the French and Belgian Catholics were villians.

I adore the Brontë sisters. Anne doesn’t get enough credit.

I was a bit dubious about watching this but I'm pleased I did. Very well done, well researched and informative, really enjoyed it

Excellent documentary! Thank you!

Wonderful documentary, Thank you! 🥰🇦🇺

The only photo I took breaking Westminster Abbey’s rules for visitors was the plaque on the wall in dedication to the Brontë sisters in Poet’s Corner.

Thank you so much for this and all your documentaries. Simply wonderful.

Beautiful documentary of what to me several very sad stories intertwined. Thank you.

Lovely!!! Thanks so much!!!

Wuthering heights is the best and most favorite novel to me

A very interesting documentary. Thank you….

Great documentary about the Brontes.

Excellent video, thank you!

Oh my goodness I’m finally the first like and comment!!

It's so odd that Wuthering Heights was initially so badly received - I love that book (I've read it three times), and I've never been able to get through Jane Eyre.

Very interesting documentary but, as much as I love music, I could have done without it as it is very distracting.

I think that I am the only Moroccan who is a fan of these sisters ...

Thank you for the literary treasures at your channel.

Wonderful! Many thanks for this excellent documentary.

Thanks for this!

I think it’s so sad that Emily didn’t live long enough to write more novels. Wuthering Heights is such a classic. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read it. Anne doesn’t get the respect she deserves. I think in modern times we would have more sympathy for Branwell than he got at the time, but he seems to have been pushing the self destruct button for years. If he could have only sorted himself out I think he could have been every bit as well known as his sisters came to be. Charlotte, like Emily and Anne, will always be remembered for her books, but Jane Eyre is the one of hers that truly stands out as a classic.

Thank you so much!

Beautiful sisters. That is courage.

A truly tragic story of such truly great women. I have read there books at different times in my 78 years and watching this lovely video, I will treat myself too another reading of Jane Eyre.

I adore Bronte sisters to Howard's meeting becoming so much to great expectations .

Of the three for whatever reason, I seemed to take most to Jane Eyre. Each of the girls had experience as a governess I believe. So on that subject they each did indeed write from experience. And the monstrous behavior by their charges was no literary creation neither was it any exaggeration ! Those kids were indeed unbelievable monsters. I really wonder just how many people did in fact perish from Consumption before the disease was finally isolated. How much longer still before cause, how it spread, and effective treatment was in force ? Tuberculosis is a painful, very debilitating, and long demise. It would not surprise me to learn that it alone was responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths. The poor victim becomes so very drawn, gaunt, and string-thin, so emaciated and grey, - it's small wonder that it has always been referred to as 'Consumption'. (make a great diet book though 😐) There are incredibly so very many diseases that before germ theory I am more than a little surprised we've all made it as far as we have. There's something about misery - or at least profound sadness that has the effect of surfacing genius in literature, in art, and in music. I guess some folks out there can only truly make us happy - when they're miserable !

Bloody hell pregnant for 5 years on the trot. My nightmare!

Get rid of the background noise

Poor Patrick! I'm always amazed at the genius of the Brontes. They were all so intelligent and creative and gone too soon.

Bronte sisters..... Three.... Tragic blow for the faithful

Well done

❤️ this so much

Wonderful.

I love bronte sisters very much

Charlotte is just unique ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Did anyone else find the background music very loud and off-putting ? Apart from the music I enjoyed it a lot

Who did the art for the thumbnail? It’s lovely.

fantastic 😊

I would like to know more about the pictures of houses and churches

A great documentary thank you but too many ads interupting

I like wuthering heights very much

Emily was the genius.

I really get stucked by it and I love it very much

Please STOPP this PIANO MUSIC, it's terrible......

How is no one talking about this amazing RDR2 lore?

Minunat!🙏🌹🙏

I share a birthday with Emily , and I always found it interesting that Kate Bush also shares this birthday, being that her first and probably most noted record was called Wuthering heights. I'm sure she must have been aware of the coincidence, maybe it inspired her to write that song

I was outraged but also amused that the man whose name Charlotte borrowed (because a woman's novel would have been a commercial failure) later tried to grab the money she was making once she was successful. lol

Tragic life and tragic end! Heathcliff,Cathy, their creator, Bronte sisters

Excellent.

If you find anything on Thomas Mann could you share it for us. 🙏

Спасибо. Читаем

What a sad ending .

If i could only meet one of the Bronte sisters, it would have to be Emily. She, in my opinion was the 'iron' at the centre of her family. Yet it seems she was a shy retiring girl with strangers. I wonder what her second novel would have been about.

Wuthering Heights.......😩

Too many ad's

браво! Бронте.

Charlotte Emily Anne🌹🌹🌹

7:08 Can you imagine living in a place with flagstone floors and no carpets? Goodbye cups, plates and laptops!

Although I read English Literature at UNI for four years I willingly hold up my hand to declare The Brontes I avoided like a Victorian Funeral. Images of those desolate and remote windy Moores. Give me a family dinner with Mrs Bennett's nerves twenty times over. Kate Bush deserves a Gold Medal for finding inspiration creating the music and lyric for Wuthering Heights. Perhaps I should make a point of taking them from my bookshelves and give it a whirl and see if I survive either my mortal demise or taking to Opium with a fierce compulsion.

Harsh and unforgiving lives I hope their spirit lives on long further

Poor Anne, buried so far from her family.

Too many adverts!!

Elizabeth Bronte died on the 15 June 1825, not the 15 July 1825 12:09

The crashing piano music throughout this biography is distracting, irritating, unpleasant and awful. It ruins the narrative.

Brothers.

Interesting...

I visited there. Did anyone else find the TOM MIX cobblestone?

Well, they were Celts through both their parents: Irish father and Cornish mother. They were not English.

Wuthering Heights...Emily wrote the book and Kate Bush sang the song...

Don't forget BRAMWELL.

Iam here because of the sitcom The King of queens.. so dont say that tv makes you dumb :)

From the description of Charlotte's pregnancy it sounds to me like she suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. "HG". I had it myself which is why the symptoms sound familiar. Even in 2024 ladies die from "HG"

Haworth is a small town it is not a village.

The glass world.

Tragic. What an old arse the Father was and he lived on and on. Tough times.

Never read them but ofcourse have heard of them...descriptions of their books sound perfect for an opera full of drama madness and passion I wonder if any musician has tried to do so. Unfortunately I still insist on a happy ending in my fiction escape 😊 lol

Brundy?

pour ceux qui aime emily bronte, un de ses poemes mis en musique ici kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5p3m7mq2bKwnZ8.html

Music is extremely annoying. Can't watch this

They wanted to be Jane Austen so fucking bad….

I agree with the publishers mostly. JaneEyre are the best of thier works. I disagree about Wuthering Heights, too disturbing for my taste.

The Bronte sisters spoke with Irish accents, The reader of their works should have had an Irish accent too, don't you think?

A (B), C (D).E

When I examined these three siblings again-it was likely that Emily didn't just get along with Charlotte but with Anne. Her older sister Charlotte was a woman of color. When I say colorful- it was a cute things laughs at everything. İn short Charlotte was full of live. But Emily such a passionate and intense woman. Therefore sad and sorrow. I think- I can confidently say that- Emily never got along with Charlotte. Even with the little Anne. Wuthering Heights is full of extraordinary events. Social phobia, agarophobhia- was attributed to Emily Bronte. But the truth is waterless. Certainly Wuthering Heights written by a passionate woman. She dont have Aspergers. Emily probably wanted to unleash her passion. Wuthering Heights was written by a passionate lady. İt's obvious even from last name. "Linton".

Yeah they were great!..right up there with Destiny's child and the Nolans😊
