Abstract

This research paper traces the literary legacy of the Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—and demonstrates their importance in the arena of comparative literature, where their works stand out as timeless classics. It breaks the shackles of patriarchal confines during the Victorian era; their novels offer a sharp depiction of female autonomy and independence through the lens of a transnational framework. The novels and works of the Brontës critically engage with European literature, with interpretations surpassing geographical locations.
