More than simply a literary society

The Brontë Society is one of the most important literary societies in the English-speaking world.

Its members come from that world and also from far beyond it, reflecting the continuing international appeal of the extraordinary family from Haworth. Formed in 1893 by a group made up mainly of enthusiastic Yorkshire journalists, the Society has grown into an organisation which has within it people from all callings and professions, all of whom are passionately interested in the lives of the Brontës and in what they created. They are encouraged to take part in the lively democratic processes of the Society, and to attend (if possible) the Annual General Meeting in Haworth, which is part of a festival in the second week of June each year.
