| | Fiction: Emily Bronte (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | In 1831, Emily and her younger sister, Anne (1820-1849), began writing an epic about two imaginary Pacific islands called Gondal and Gaaldine, references to which appear in Emily's later poems, which are considered among the best in English lyric poetry. |
 | | Emily spent part of 1842 studying in Brussels along with her older sister, Charlotte (1816-1855), and then returned home where she stayed alone with her father and spent a great deal of time on the Yorkshire moors, images of which appear often in her work. |
 | | The Brontë sisters planned to open a school, but they abandoned those plans in 1845 after failing to attract any students. |
