The Brontë Sisters

Love, inheritance, debts, work, economic independence: in the Brontë sisters' works, money is everywhere. Charlotte (1816-1855), Emily (1818-1848), and Anne (1820-1849) left behind essential works of 19th-century English literature that continue to fascinate with their narrative power. But behind the great love stories and unforgettable heroines lies a constant questioning of the role of money, which determines destinies, power dynamics, and the possibilities for emancipation in Victorian England.
