Sisters and Writers

In 1847, Charlotte Brontë and her sister Anne both published their first novels. The following year, their sister Emily also published a first novel. Charlotte’s novel, Jane Eyre, was one of the best sellers of 1847. Emily’s novel, Wuthering Heights, was disliked at first but later became highly respected. Anne’s first novel did not sell well, but her second novel did. How did three sisters from the same family all become published writers? Their childhood might have had something to do with it. When Charlotte and Emily were young girls, they made up stories about an imaginary land called Angria. They filled notebooks with stories about Angria. When Anne was oldenough, she joined in. It could be that their early years helped the girls to develop their creativity and storytelling abilities.
