Charlotte was born in 1816, the third of six children.In 1820 her family moved a few miles to the village of Haworth, where her father had been appointed Perpetual curate of St Michael and All Angels Church.Her mother died of cancer on 15 September 1821, leaving five daughters, Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Emily, Anne and a son Branwell to be taken care of by her sister, Elizabeth Branwell.In August 1824, Patrick Brontë sent Charlotte, Emily, Maria and Elizabeth to the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire.Charlotte maintained the school's poor conditions permanently affected her health and physical development and hastened the deaths of Maria(born 1814)and Elizabeth(born 1815), who died of tuberculosis in June 1825.After the deaths of her older sisters, her father removed Charlotte and Emily from the school.Charlotte used the school as the basis for Lowood School in Jane Eyre.At home in Haworth Parsonage Charlotte acted as “the motherly friend and guardian of her younger sisters”.[citation needed] She and her surviving siblings — Branwell, Emily, and Anne – created their own literary fictional worlds and began chronicling the lives and struggles of the inhabitants of their imaginary kingdoms.Charlotte and Branwell wrote Byronic stories about their imagined country, “Angria”, and Emily and Anne wrote articles and poems about “Gondal”.The sagas they created were elaborate and convoluted(and exist in partial manuscripts)and provided them with an obseive interest during childhood and early adolescence which prepared them for literary vocations in adulthood.Between 1831 and 1832 Charlotte continued her education at Roe Head in Mirfield, where she met her lifelong friends and correspondents, Ellen Nuey and Mary Taylor.In 1833 she wrote a novella, The Green Dwarf, using the name Wellesley.She returned to Roe Head as a teacher from 1835 to 1838.In 1839 she took up the first of many positions as governe to families in Yorkshire, a career she pursued until 1841.In particular, from May to July 1839 she was employed by the Sidgwick family at their summer residence, Stone Gappe, in Lothersdale, where one of her charges was John Benson Sidgwick(1835–1927), an unruly child who on one occasion threw a Bible at Charlotte, an incident which may have been the inspiration for that part of the opening chapter of Jane Eyre in which John Reed throws a book at the young Jane.Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818 in the village of Thornton, Yorkshire, in the North of England, to Maria Branwelland Patrick Brontë.She was the younger sister of Charlotte Brontë and the fifth of six children, though the two oldest girls, Maria and Elizabeth, died in childhood.In 1820, shortly after the birth of Emily's younger sisterAnne, the family moved eight miles away to Haworth, where Patrick was employed as perpetual curate;here the children developed their literary talents.After the death of their mother in September 1821 from cancer, when Emily was three years old, the older sistersMaria, Elizabeth and Charlotte were sent to the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge, where they encountered abuse and privations later described by Charlotte in Jane Eyre.At the age of six, Emily joined her sisters at school for a brief period.When a typhoid epidemic swept the school, Maria and Elizabeth caught it.Maria, who may actually have hadtuberculosis, was sent home, where she died.Emily was subsequently removed from the school, in June 1825, along with Charlotte and Elizabeth.Elizabeth died soon after their return home.The three remaining sisters and their brother Patrick Branwell were thereafter educated at home by their father and auntElizabeth Branwell, their mother's sister.Their father, an Irish Anglican clergyman, was very strict, and during the day he would work in his office, while the children were to remain silent in a room together.Despite the lack of formal education, Emily and her siblings had acce to a wide range of published material;favourites included Sir Walter Scott, Byron, Shelley, and Blackwood's Magazine.In their leisure time the children began to write fiction at home, inspired by a box of toy soldiers Branwell had received as a gift, and created a number of fantasy worlds, which were featured in stories they wrote – all 'very strange ones' according to Charlotte – and enacted about the imaginary adventures of their toy soldiers along with the Duke of Wellington and his sons, Charles and Arthur Wellesley.Little of Emily's work from this period survives, except for poems spoken by characters.When Emily was 13, she and Anne withdrew from participation in the Angria story and began a new one about Gondal, a fictional island whose myths and legends were to preoccupy the two sisters throughout their lives.With the exception of Emily's Gondal poems and Anne's lists of Gondal's characters and place-names, their writings on Gondal were not preserved.Some “diary papers” of Emily's have survived in which she describes current events in Gondal, some of which were written, others enacted with Anne.One dates from 1841, when Emily was twenty-three: another from 1845, when she was twenty-seven.At seventeen, Emily attended the Roe Head girls' school, where Charlotte was a teacher, but managed to stay only a few months before being overcome by extreme homesickne.She returned home and Anne took her place.At this time, the girls' objective was to obtain sufficient education to open a small school of their own.Emily became a teacher at Law Hill School in Halifax beginning in September 1838, when she was twenty.Her health broke under the stre of the 17-hour work day and she returned home in April 1839.Thereafter she became the stay-at-home daughter, doing most of the cooking, ironing, and cleaning and teaching Sunday school.She taught herself German out of books and practised piano.In 1842, Emily accompanied Charlotte to the Héger Pensionnat in Bruels, Belgium, where they attended the girls' academy run by Constantin Héger.They planned to perfect their French and German in anticipation of opening their school.Nine of Emily's French eays survive from this period.Héger seems to have been impreed with the strength of Emily's character, and made the following aertion: She should have been a man – a great navigator.Her powerful reason would have deduced new spheres of discovery from the knowledge of the old;and her strong imperious will would never have been daunted by opposition or difficulty, never have given way but with life.She had a head for logic, and a capability of argument unusual in a man and rarer indeed in a woman...impairing this gift was her stubborn tenacity of will which rendered her obtuse to all reasoning where her own wishes, or her own sense of right, was concerned.The two sisters were committed to their studies and by the end of the term had attained such competence in French that Madame Héger made a proposal for both to stay another half-year, even offering to dismi the English master, according to Charlotte, so that she could take his place, while Emily was to teach music.However, the illne and death of their aunt meant that they had to return to Haworth, and though they did try to open a school at their home, they were unable to attract students to the remote area.In 1844, Emily began going through all the poems she had written, recopying them neatly into two notebooks.One was labelled “Gondal Poems”;the other was unlabelled.Scholars such as Fannie Ratchford and Derek Roper have attempted to piece together a Gondal storyline and chronology from these poems.In the autumn of 1845, Charlotte discovered the notebooks and insisted that the poems be published.Emily, furious at the invasion of her privacy, at first refused, but relented when Anne brought out her own manuscripts and revealed she had been writing poems in secret as well.In 1846, the sisters' poems were published in one volume as Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.The Brontë sisters had adopted pseudonyms for publication, preserving their initials: Charlotte was Currer Bell, Emily was Ellis Bell and Anne was Acton Bell.Charlotte wrote in the 'Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell' that their “ambiguous choice” was “dictated by a sort of conscientious scruple at auming Christian names positively masculine, while we did not like to declare ourselves women, because...we had a vague impreion that authorees are liable to be looked on with prejudice”.Charlotte contributed 20 poems, and Emily and Anne each contributed 21.Although the sisters were told several months after publication that only two copies had sold, they were not discouraged(of their two readers, one was impreed enough to request their autographs).The Athenaeum reviewer praised Ellis Bell's work for its music and power, singling out his poems as the best: “Ellis poees a fine, quaint spirit and an evident power of wing that may reach heights not here attempted”,[37] and The Critic reviewer recognized “the presence of more genius than it was supposed this utilitarian age had devoted to the loftier exercises of the intellect.”[38] Personality and character Emily Brontë remains a mysterious figure and a challenge to biographers because information about her is sparse,[39] due to her solitary and reclusive nature.[40][41] She does not seem to have made any friends outside her family.[42] Her sister Charlotte remains the primary source of information about her, although as Emily's elder sister, writing publicly about her shortly after her death, Charlotte is not a neutral witne.[43] According to Lucasta Miller, in her analysis of Brontë biographies, “Charlotte took on the role of Emily's first mythographer.”[44] In the Preface to the Second Edition of Wuthering Heights, in 1850, Charlotte wrote: My sister's disposition was not naturally gregarious;circumstances favoured and fostered her tendency to seclusion;except to go to church or take a walk on the hills, she rarely croed the threshold of home.Though her feeling for the people round was benevolent, intercourse with them she never sought;nor, with very few exceptions, ever experienced.And yet she know them: knew their ways, their language, their family histories;she could hear of them with interest, and talk of them with detail, minute, graphic, and accurate;but WITH them, she rarely exchanged a word.[45][46] Emily's unsociability and extremely shy nature has subsequently been reported many times.[47][48][49] According to Norma Crandall, her “warm, human aspect” was “usually revealed only in her love of nature and of animals”.[50] In a similar description, Literary news(1883)states: “[Emily] loved the solemn moors, she loved all wild, free creatures and things”,[51] and critics attest that her love of the moors is manifest in Wuthering Heights.[52] Over the years, Emily's love of nature has been the subject of many anecdotes.A newspaper dated December 31, 1899, gives the folksy account that “with bird and beast [Emily] had the most intimate relations, and from her walks she often came with fledgling or young rabbit in hand, talking softly to it, quite sure, too, that it understood”.The following anecdote is also related: Once she was bitten by a dog that she saw running by in great distre, and to which she offered water.The dog was mad.She said no word to any one, but herself burned the lacerated flesh to the bone with the red hot poker, and no one knew of it until the red scar was accidentally discovered some weeks after, and sympathetic questioning brought out this story.In Queens of Literature of the Victorian Era(1886), Eva Hope summarizes Emily's character as “a peculiar mixture of timidity and Spartan-like courage”, and goes on to say, “She was painfully shy, but physically she was brave to a surprising degree.She loved few persons, but those few with a paion of self-sacrificing tenderne and devotion.To other people's failings she was understanding and forgiving, but over herself she kept a continual and most austere watch, never allowing herself to deviate for one instant from what she considered her duty.”
