Bronte Parsonage

Haworth Parsonage 2  Bronte House  Bronte House 4  Bronte House 3  Bronte House 2  Wuthering Heights 1st Edition

The home of the Bronte family located in Haworth, Yorkshire. Now a major museum, this was where Charlotte and Emily Bronte wrote their famous novels Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. I saw the very room where the Sisters wrote their famous novels as well as the actual desk, pens, and paper they used! I also saw the first edition of Wuthering Heights which took place in the Moors of Yorkshire!! The novels were originally written under male pseudonyms because it was not socially accepted for women to write in the 19th century. The house was still full of original furniture, including the couch that Emily Bronte died on in 1848. The Bronte Parsonage is packed densely with history and is a wonderful site to visit!
