THE BRILLIANT BRONTE SISTERS

The Brontës' works emerged out of the brutal Yorkshire moors to change English Literature forever. Today, their groundbreaking masterpieces remain a compulsive feature of school curriculums the world over. Actress Sheila Hancock, CBE paints vivid portraits of these exceptional women writers and examines the impact of their legacy. Sheila's journey starts in the Yorkshire village of Haworth and the brutal moors that inspired Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights," moves on to Brussels, where Charlotte Brontë developed the writing style that made "Jane Eyre" an enduring masterpiece, and ends in Scarborough, the last resting place of Anne Brontë. Sheila meets leading authorities on the Brontës, as well as modern artists who have been inspired by their work. Delving through priceless artifacts and manuscripts, Sheila sheds new light on these remarkable and world-famous women. (1 EP, 2013)
