Wyls fjouwer fan syn fiif susters nei kostskoalle stjoerd waarden yn [[Cowan Bridge]] (dêr't de twa âldsten, Maria en Elizabeth [[tuberkuloaze]] skipen en ferstoaren), krige Branwell ûnderrjocht fan syn heit, dy't him klearsteamde foar talitting yn [[Oxford]] of [[Cambridge]].
Brontë en syn susters skreaunen meiinoar oan optochte wrâlden yn harren jeugd en adolesinsje. It meast mei Charlotte wurke er oan har fantasywrâld ''"Angria"''.
Brontë collaborated as a writer with his sisters in childhood and adolescence, creating [[Imaginary world|fictional worlds]]. His surviving juvenilia shows that he collaborated most closely with Charlotte on their imaginary world Angria.

It is thought, according to his account to his own family, the Robinson family's silence on the reason for his dismissal, and subsequent gifts of money from Mrs. Robinson through her servants, that he had an ferhâlding with Mrs. Robinson and that the affair had been discovered by her husband.
Brontë returned home to his family at the [[Brontë Parsonage Museum|Haworth parsonage]], but he was devastated by Mrs. Robinson's abandonment and the increasing unlikelihood of a reunion and turned to alcohol. He became an [[alcoholism|alcoholic]] and was thought to be [[Substance dependence|addicted]] to [[laudanum]].<ref>Gaskell, Elizabeth. "The Life of Charlotte Bronte", Penguin Books, 1998, ISBN:978-0-14-043493-4</ref> His behaviour became irrational and dangerous as he developed [[delirium tremens]]. Charlotte's letters from this time demonstrate that she was angered by his behaviour, but that her father was patient with his broken son. Although it was at this time that his sisters' first novels were being accepted for publication, it is not known whether he was even informed.
