I am an avid Brontë fan and Brontë Society Member, and I have created this site as a catch-all for everything Brontëana.

I am currently putting info on here about their lives, loves, artworks, literary careers, schooling, and especially the adaptations of their novels and lives.

If you would like to contribute to the site, please apply to be a writer over on the right hand side, or just leave a comment at the bottom of any page.

Missing the Brontes

Thread started: May 23 2008, 8:58 PM EDT Watch

Spring is a busy season of gardening here at home and we are still building our house as well. I am missing the Brontes, the research and the movies. I can't wait for the movie, Bronte, to come out and I hear, a new Wuthering Heights is being filmed. I need a good bio to read in my few spare moments. I have some heather in my garden, the early blooming type. Bees love it. Where are all of you Bronte lovers? Read any good books lately? Rosi.

First Brontë Blog n Spanish

Jan 2 2008, 3:16 PM EST by JanetRochester

Thread started: Nov 21 2007, 12:16 PM EST Watch

Dear friends,
I am a translator from Madrid, Spain. I have majored in English Literature and my field of interest is Victorian literature. I have just applied for membership in the Brontë Society as well.
I have just started the first blog about the Brontë sisters and the Victorian era in Spanish.
Right now it’s very empty but I plan to update it often and to fill a very sad gap in the Spanish speaking blogosphere.
If you are interested in taking a look, the title of the blog is Los páramos de Charlotte (Charlotte’s Moors) and you can find it right here: http://losparamosdecharlotte.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
