Abstract
This article identifies similarities among the first-person narratives of the Brontë sisters’ mature fiction. It is suggested that the sisters had very close relationships with each other both within the family and in their professional lives as novelists. The latter reveal themselves in the shared types of images taken from the natural world, which draw on observation of the landscape around Haworth. These include the recurrence of animal, bird, plant and weather imagery. There are also other very different patterns of imagery, including that of slavery. Peculiar to the Brontë sisters’ novels are the recurrence of physiognomic detail and their shared love of home.
