I can imagine how hard these women's lives could have been not only because of illness, but also because of the conservatism of the time. It is said that Branwell and his sister Emily felt a forbidden love, and that's why it was their hobby for drugs and alcohol. My favourite is the dark, shy and introverted Emily Brontë and her only novel Wuthering Heights, the great classic of English literature. She is said to be the writer who transferred to paper the passions she could not live and even suffered from Asperger's Syndrome. I will wait for your next delivery, @honeydue. Thank you for always sharing fun materials.
