The Brontë Sisters: Anne, Charlotte, and Emily Brontë
Anne, Charlotte, and Emily Brontë were all accomplished novelists. Charlotte’s famous work is Jane Eyre, and Emily’s is Wuthering Heights. But how did three sisters all become popular authors at the same time? Could it have been the cemetery water they grew up drinking??
Jane Eyre superfan Lana Wood Johnson joins us to discuss the tuberculosis-laden lives of these Northern English authors (with Irish accents).
