10 Literary Family Dynasties


The list, care of Flavorwire.

From the piece...

Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte are often lumped together as “the Brontes,” and this sister trio seemed to enjoy a shared identity throughout their lives. They wrote and edited in close collaboration, and indeed each of their first novels were published within a year of one another. If that’s not enough, they also chose to pseudonymously attribute their respective works to a different author from the fictional Bell family (Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, respectively) before their true identities were later revealed.
