The Brontë Sisters

The literary expert explores Yorkshire and the dramatic landscape that inspired the world-famous Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Anne and Emily - to write some of their much-loved novels. She delves into their life stories and the harsh realities of the past, and discovers how a dramatic landslide may be the key to Emily's depiction of the moors in Wuthering Heights, and how the high child mortality rate in the Brontë home town of Haworth might have influenced Jane Eyre.
