| LONDON – For 85 years, the names of three of
English literature’s best-known writers, Charlotte,
Emily and Anne Brontë, were featured in Poet’s Corner,
the Westminster Abbey nook dedicated to great poets,
authors and playwrights, but something wasn’t quite
right: They were missing the accent mark. Last week, the error was fixed when the diereses – umlaut-like punctuation dots, each just about a third of an inch in diameter – were added above each E of the famous last name.
