As an avid fan of history and of the Bronte sisters for years, I have delved deeper and deeper into their history and constantly am on the search for more details about their lives. I've not had the pleasure of finding any online community or fanbase dedicated to this interest, so I'm really glad I found this! It's like a Christmas present - I get to read up on info I haven't uncovered yet!<br /><br />I myself actually recently started a blog on the Bronte sisters and their fanbase (at whatsupwithbrontemania.wordpress.com). It would be super super cool of you to check it out! I'm happy to have found an outlet to my obsession, since I can't actually travel back in time to meet the Brontes.<br /><br />Well done on this blog - and keep writing!

I particularly liked the feverish teenaged energy to the passage - not only in the scene itself, but in how Charlotte is obviously far more interested in capturing her thoughts than her penmanship.Isabella Bradford/Susan Holloway Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997375216314200469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-22218582617221593252011-03-10T21:21:33.103-05:002011-03-10T21:21:33.103-05:00Yeah for diaries!

I wish they would have had the joy of having truckloads of friends, family and work colleagues to associate with, not just each other.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-8485492131180160612011-03-08T07:14:46.410-05:002011-03-08T07:14:46.410-05:00Amazing!
