""A fascinating period drama documenting the lives of the Bronte sisters from the successes of their literary achievements to the tragedies that beset both their own and their brothers lives. Written by the poet and the playwright Christopher Fry, the accent is on accuracy and authenticity" --Container."
"Dramatisation of the lives of the Bronte family, from 1826 to Charlotte's death 29 years later. This outstanding series is a perfect companion to a study of any of the Bronte's works. In order to achieve an authentic portayal of the Brontes, many scenes have been deliberately shot in semi-darkness, this together with the dark decor and costume of the period have resulted in several very dark screens."@en

Under the influence of their father, Charlotte, Anne, and Emily wrote a number of jewels of English literature while experiencing disappointment in love and the death of loved ones. This dramatization of the lives of the Brontes, their life-style, and the environment of Haworth, is both painstakingly accurate and brilliantly presented and performed."
