The Bronte Sisters DVD

• Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey were all published in 1847.
• Emily, Charlotte, and Anne Bronté's first effort, a jointly written, pseudonymous poetry collection, sold only two copies.
• The brilliant sisters all died before the age of forty.

How could a trio of bored country sisters create some of the most dramatic and timeless literature of the 19th century? Who were they and how did such genius arise in the isolation of the English countryside?

This illuminating DVD tells the fascinating story of Emily, Charlotte, and Anne Bronte: three sisters from a tragic family who, between them, wrote some of literature's most enduring classics. Trace their growth from the easily-dismissed early poetry - written under the pen names Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell - to the triumphs of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Discover the unlikely environment that allowed their precocious talents to flourish. Anguish as the sisters' lives prove as tragic and tempestuous as those of the ill-fated characters in their novels.
