Historic Ponden Hall sits among a patchwork of green hills, overlooking a glistening reservoir at the end of a single-track lane.
It looks just like something you'd imagine in a novel written by a Brontë sister. Well, you'd be onto something thinking that, as this charming house in Stanbury, a hop over the Lancashire border, is thought to have inspired Thrushcross Grange in Emily Brontë's timeless romantic novel Wuthering Heights.
The building as also said to have inspired her sister Anne's book book, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
All three Brontë sisters regularly visited the stunning 19th century home, which was owned by the Heaton family and once featured the largest private library in Yorkshire. Today, guests can stay in an annex known as The Peat House. (Denise Evans)
Jane Eyre
El tormentoso destino de la joven gobernanta Jane Eyre es la piedra angular de este clásico de la literatura británica, primera obra maestra de Charlotte Brontë. En la que amor y revolución te dejarán enganchada desde la página primera.

Jane Eyre in Cecilia Szperling's novel
Las desmayadas.
La novela familiar es una fábula, un relato que construimos para nosotros mismos", dice la escritora en torno al eje de “Las desmayadas”, una nouvelle de ritmo acelerado, escrita en apenas tres meses durante la pandemia, con un tono que tiene algo del apacible “Mujercitas” de Louisa May Alcott pero también de la tenebrosa “Jane Eyre” de Charlotte Brontë. En una atmósfera que retoma algo de ambos climas transcurren los días de la adolescente protagonista, quien, a la vez que hace expresión corporal y danza con sus hermanas, se entrena en el arte elegante y evasivo del desmayo. (Eva Marabotto) (Translation)
AnneBrontë.org describes Charlotte's and Anne's trip to London in 1848 as 'The Weekend That Changed Literary History Forever' and has a post about it.
