Emily Brontë rare handwritten poems £1 million The Honresfield Library auction

VCG Wilson / Corbis via Getty Images When it comes to England’s literary heritage, few figures command quite as much fascination as the Brontë sisters. Over two centuries on from their births, Charlotte (1816–1855), Emily (1818–1848), and Anne (1820–1849) remain celebrated figures, heralded for works like Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, respectively. Emily was relatively little-known in her lifetime, having written her famous tragic love story in 1847, a year before her death of tuberculosis aged just 30. Now, however, she’s regarded as a canonical writer – and in exciting news for bibliophiles, a volume of her handwritten poems is part of a trove of literary artefacts going up for sale at Sotheby’s.
