* A note to our readers, we know that the proper spelling of Bronte is Brontë, but found that in some browsers the accented character was displayed in an alternative font, in the text this is not a great problem, but it was very obvious in the headings so for consistency we have used an "e" throughout. Also the un-accented outnumbers the accented version by over 8:1 in a web search!
