Outside there is a church with a special mosaic depicting a scene from Wuthering Heights, written by Emily Brontë (her dad was born in that area). Behind the art work there is a Corsican Pine, grown from a seed of the tree planted by her sister Charlotte in Haworth in 1854.

Today's photo with the most hits: the steps in the ruined Wycoller Hall, Lancashire. The Hall has long held to be the inspiration for Ferndean Manor, in Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre.

Feeling is the leitmotif: repost of my review of 's The Professor (1857). Its setting anticipates that of her final novel (1853).

I’ve been slowly making my way through Villette. Even with the audio on while walking and cleaning it’s still slow going… I’m not really falling in love with the character, in fact I’d quite like to slap her sometimes! @bookstadon

Today in History April 21, 1816: Charlotte Brontë, English novelist and poet, was born on this day. Her most famous book, “Jane Eyre,” was published in 1847. However, she published a book of poetry in 1846, along with her sisters Anne and Emily. They used masculine pseudonyms to avoid prejudice. In 1836 she asked Poet Laureate Robert Southey for encouragement as a writer. He replied, “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and ought not to be.” She died in 1855, most likely due to complications from pregnancy.

"Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour. If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?" — Charlotte Brontë — — —
