Welcome to the Brontë Society American Chapter blog.
Welcome to the Brontë Society American Chapter blog. Members live in the United States of America. We have a keen interest in the Brontës: Patrick, Branwell, Anne, Charlotte and Emily.

These include Anne’s Agnes Grey, Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, and Emily’s Wuthering Heights. bronteusa
