In 1831 Charlotte left home and became a pupil at Miss Wooler’s Boarding School for Young Ladies at Roe’s Head she then taught there as a governess from 1835-1838. In 1834, Charlotte and Branwell conceived a complex world called Angria. The children developed complex fantasy worlds of glass towns, and wrote of them in dozens of microscopically printed books. During this period of time, Charlottes imagination flourished. Charlotte and Emily, understandably, followed their sisters home.įor the next six years, the remaining Bronte sisters, along with their brother Branwell, were educated at home. A year later in 1825, Maria and Elizabeth both took ill at school and returned home to die. In 1824, the four eldest girls of the Bronte family (Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, and Emily) were enrolled as pupils at the Clergy Daughters School at Cowan Bridge, a boarding school for daughters of clergy.

After Marias death, her sister (Charlottes aunt) Elizabeth Branwell came to care for the children. Shortly after in 1821, Maria Bronte took ill and died.

In 1820, the Bronte family moved to Haworth, a small town on the edge of the industrial Pennines, so that Patrick could secure a job as a curate. She was the third of six children, including her sisters Emily and Anne who were born in 18. Charlotte Bronte was born in 1816, to Reverend Patrick and Maria Bronte, in Thornton of Yorkshire, England.
