 The Anne and Emily Diaries (1834)
/Дневники Энн и Эмили Бронте (1834)
Anne / Emily Joint Diary - 1834
This diary paper was jointly composed, though written mostly in Emily's hand: it was signed by both herself and Anne. What is most surprising is the poor spelling, punctuation and grammar by the 16 year old Emily - the person who was later to write one of the greatest novels ever written. The poor spelling etc. have been preserved in the copy below (though items in red are later additions to improve clarity). The reference 'Mr. Sunderland expected', relates to the parish organist from nearby Keighley, who was employed by Patrick to teach piano to Branwell, Emily and Anne. At the time of this diary, Anne was 14 years old. November the 24 1834 Monday
