History.com has a cool feature called this day in literary history. It mentions a notable literary event for every day of the year.

Today March 5, for instance, Charlotte Bronte wrote to the Reverend Henry Nussey, declining marriage. “The 23-year-old Bronte told him that he would find her “romantic and eccentric” and not practical enough to be a clergyman’s wife. Rather than marry, Bronte struggled as a teacher and governess to help support her brother Branwell’s literary aspirations. In the end, Branwell’s excesses destroyed him; his sisters, though, all became literary figures.”
