Download or read book The Bronte Sisters written by Anne Bronte and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Brontës have long fascinated readers of fiction and biography, their poetry was all too little known until this pioneering selection by Stevie Davies, the novelist and critic. Charlotte (1816-1855) is certainly a competent poet, and Anne (1820-1849) developed a distinctive voice, while Emily (1818-1848) is one of the great women poets in English. Read together with their novels, the poems movingly elucidate the ideas around which the narratives revolve. And they surprise us out of our conventional notions of the sisters' personalities: Emily's rebelliousness, for example, is counterbalanced here by great tenderness. This selection of over seventy poems gives an idea of the variety of thought and feeling within each author's work, and of the way in which the poems of these three remarkable writers parallel and reflect each other.
Download or read book Emily Bronte written by Nick Holland and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emily Jane Brontë was born in July 1818; along with her sisters Charlotte and Anne, she is famed as a member of the greatest literary family of all time, and helped turn Haworth into a place of literary pilgrimage. Whilst Emily Brontë wrote only one novel, the mysterious and universally acclaimed Wuthering Heights, she is widely acknowledged as the best poet of the Brontë sisters – indeed as one of the greatest female poets of all time. Her poems offer insights to her relationships with her family, religion, nature, the world of work, and the shadowy and visionary powers that increasingly dominated her life. Taking twenty of her most revealing poems, Nick Holland creates a unifying impression of Emily Brontë, revealing how this terribly shy young woman could create such wild and powerful writing, and why she turned her back on the outside world for one that existed only in her own mind.

Download or read book The Complete Poems of Emily Jane Bront written by Emily Jane Brontë and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1846 a small book entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bellappeared on the British Literary scene. The three psuedonymous poets, the Brontë sisters went on to unprecedented success with such novels as Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, and Jane Eyre, all published in the following year. As children, these English sisters had begun writing poems and stories abotu an imaginary country named Gondal, yet they never sought to publish any of their work until Charlotte's discovery of Emily's more mature poems in the autumn of 1845. Charlotte later recalled: "I accidentally lighted on a MS. volume of verse in my sister Emily's handwriting....I looked it over, amd something more than surprise seized me -- a deep conviction that these were not common effusions, nor at all like the poetry women generally write. I thought them condensed and terse, vigorous and genuine. To my ear they had also a peculiar music -- wild, melancholy, and elevating." The renowned Hatfield edition of The Complete Poems of Emily Jane Brontë includes the poetry that captivated Charlotte Brontë a century and a half ago, a body of work that continues to resonate today. This incomparable volume includes Emily's verse from Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell as well as 200 works collected from various manuscript sources after her death in 1848. Some were deited and preserved by Charlotte and Arthur Bell Nichols; still others were discovered years later by Brontë scholars. Originally released in 1923, Hatfield's collection was the result of a remarkable attempt over twenty years to isolate Emily's poems from her sisters' and to achieve chronological order. Accompanied by an interpretive preface on "The Gondal Story" by Miss Fannie E. Ratchford, author of The Brontë's Web of Childhood, the edition is the definitive collection of Emily Brontë's poetical works.

Download or read book The Bront s written by Juliet Barker and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “brilliant” biography of the Brontë family, dispelling popular myths and revealing the true story of Emily, Anne, Charlotte, and their father (The Independent on Sunday). The tragic story of the Brontë family has been told many times: the half-mad, repressive father; the drunken, drug-addicted brother; wildly romantic Emily; unrequited Anne; and “poor Charlotte.” But is any of it true? These caricatures of the popular imagination were created by amateur biographers like Elizabeth Gaskell who were more interested in lurid tales than genuine scholarship. Juliet Barker’s landmark book is the first definitive history of the Brontës. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling—but true. Based on firsthand research among all the Brontë manuscripts and among contemporary historical documents never before used by Brontë biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable. The Brontës is a revolutionary picture of the world’s favorite literary family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautifully readable modern prose translations of the classic 19th-century verses of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte The 19th-century British sisters produced much fine literature. They are most famous for their novels – Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Anne Bronte’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and so on. However, they also wrote profound and distinctive poems on many topics. They are most famous for their novels – Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Anne Bronte’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and so on. However, they also wrote profound and distinctive poems on many topics. Their poetry dealt with issues in faith, morality, and society. They reflected on love, personal loss, and introspection – and explored themes of passion, solitude, and spirituality. The poems contain remarkable descriptions of nature and the supernatural. We find in them expressions of intense emotion and awesomely vivid imagery. Charlotte Bronte penned her renowned poem “Gilbert” at age 13. She continued writing throughout her life with various magazines publishing her poems alongside her novels. Emily Bronte (1818 -1848) and Anne Bronte (1820 -1849) had most of their poetry published in the book Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell (1846). The sisters used masculine pen names for privacy and because the society of the time was often reluctant to take female writers seriously. However, norms have changed. Today, the Bronte novels and poems are available everywhere and receive the acclaim they deserve. The present anthology is a modernized version of the original 1846 collection. It is part of a series from the publisher translating classic poetic works into present-day prose to improve their readability and understandability.
