About this book
Charlotte Brontë explains how she and her sisters came to publish as Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The first of these two short pieces answers the belief that one person wrote all the books, and tells how, in autumn 1845, she found a manuscript of Emily's verse and judged it worth printing.
The three sisters then chose a selection of their poems and took the ambiguous names, avoiding names that were plainly masculine without wishing to declare themselves women. She wrote the notice for a reprint of Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey, the novels of Emily and Anne.
