Book Description
This unfinished work by Charlotte Brontë contains the poignant story of an abused child. Two chapters of 'The Story of Willie Ellin' has survived. After abandoning the work, Charlotte later incorporated it into another work called 'Emma'. Charlotte Brontë (1816 – 1855), English writer noted for her novel Jane Eyre (1847) and sister of Anne Brontë and Emily Brontë. The three sisters are almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels. In their works they described love more truthfully that was common in Victorian age England. In the past 40 years Charlotte Brontë's reputation has risen rapidly, and feminist criticism has done much to show that she was speaking up for oppressed women of every age.

The Brontes
Author: Harold Orel
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349251992
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
The Brontes, living in an isolated village in Yorkshire, wrote some of the most vivid, imaginative, and widely-read novels of the Victorian Age; they also became the subject-matter of romanticized anecdotes and regrettably distorted biographies. The best testimony about what kinds of men and women they really were comes from statements they made themselves; but because their autobiographical commentaries are sparse, the record is usefully supplemented in this anthology by first-hand statements made not only by various inhabitants of Haworth, but by those who met members of the Bronte family in Yorkshire, London, and elsewhere.

The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë
Author: Charlotte Brontë
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 3737
Book Description
In 'The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë,' readers are presented with a breathtaking panorama of nineteenth-century literary artistry. This collection transcends mere anthology, weaving together the distinct yet harmoniously interconnected oeuvres of the Brontë family. With a range that spans from the windswept moors of 'Wuthering Heights' to the subdued, fiery passions of 'Jane Eyre,' and the less traversed but equally compelling works of Anne and Patrick Brontë, alongside Branwell's artistic contributions, the anthology showcases a remarkable diversity of style and theme. Such an assembly underlines the profound impact these authors have had on English literature and the Gothic Romantic genre in particular. The second paragraph delves into the unique literary heritage of the Brontë siblings, shaped amidst the isolation of the Yorkshire moors. Their writings, a product of intense creativity and intellectual discourse within their secluded home, emerged against a backdrop of Victorian constraints and personal tragedies. This collection, therefore, does not merely collate texts; it maps the convergence of individual genius with shared familial and historical influences, underscoring the Brontës' collective role in championing new literary forms and depths of psychological insight. For enthusiasts and scholars alike, 'The Complete Works' offers a singular opportunity to engage with the full spectrum of Brontë genius. It invites a deep, comparative appreciation of how these authors' contrasting approaches to narrative, character, and theme reflect the complexity of human experience. This anthology is not just a comprehensive collection; it is an invitation to explore the rich dialogues between the works of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick, and Branwell Brontë, fostering a deeper understanding of their individual and collective literary achievements.

Charlotte Brontë
Author: Arthur Pollard
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317399226
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Within the narrow confines of Haworth Parsonage the Brontë children constructed a multiform fantasy world and to their gift of intense imagination was added the quality of intense passion. The narrowness of Charlotte’s experience makes autobiography important in her novels, while her imagination and passion exalt the subjectivity of her work. Her style is autobiographical also, adding credibility to the often heightened narrative, while the moralism of her heroines often serves to stabilise this exaggeration. This book, first published in 1968, introduces extracts from the novels of Charlotte Brontë, emphasising the author’s subjectivity, imagination and the resultant heightening of dialogue and experience. There is a central section on her heroines, while others discuss and illustrate events, other characters, the handling of time and place, speech and dialogue and the author’s place in novels. This title will be of interest to students of English Literature.
