About The Bronte Sisters　关于勃朗特姐妹

     The Brontes were the 19th century literary family associated with Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England.
     The sisters, Charlotte (born 21 April 1816), Emily (born 30 July 1818), and Anne (born 17 January 1820), are well known as a trio of sibling poets and novelists. They originally published their poems and novels under masculine pseudonyms, following the custom of the times practised by female writers. Their stories immediately attracted attention, although not always the best, for their passion and originality. Charlotte's Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily's Wuthering Heights, Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were later to be accepted as masterpieces of literature.
     The three sisters and their brother, Branwell, were very close and they developed their childhood imaginations through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories. The confrontation with the deaths, first of their mother, then of the two older sisters, marked them profoundly and influenced their writing.
     1847年，《简·爱》、《呼啸山庄》和《艾格尼斯·格雷》在英国先后出版。《简·爱》和《呼啸山庄》这两部作品的出现，引起了文学界强烈的轰动，而这两部不朽的名著竟出于名不见经传的两姐妹之手，更成了英国文学史上的佳话。这两姐妹就是夏洛蒂·勃朗特和艾米莉·勃朗特。夏洛蒂的《简·爱》因题材的新颖和感情的真挚立即引起当时评论界的重视，而艾米莉则凭着《呼啸山庄》这部有着奇特想象力的小说在英国文学史上占有突出地位。
