Charlotte Brönte, página 3 de 28

Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Canterbury Christ Church University College.Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.

In "Charlotte Brontes Juvenilia: Tales of Angria," readers are invited into the imaginative realm crafted by a young Bronte, encapsulated in a collection of narratives that reveal her early literary experimentation. These tales, filled with elaborate characters and vivid landscapes, exhibit a rich tapestry of Romantic influences, intertwining elements of Gothic fiction with the emerging themes of personal angst and social critique characteristic of her later works. Through stories like "Mina Laury" and "Stancliffes Hotel," Brontes juvenile prose not only foreshadows her mature style but also serves as a crucial lens into her exploration of identity, love, and the complexities of human relationships in a patriarchal society. Charlotte Bronte, one of the most significant literary figures of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by her tumultuous upbringing and the literary milieu of her time. Born in 1816 in Yorkshire, England, she and her siblings created a fictional world known as Angria during their childhood, a creative endeavor that laid the foundation for her subsequent novels. This collection reflects her bold imagination and a fierce desire for self-expression, elements that were both cultivated and constrained by her societal environment. This collection is essential for readers who wish to delve into the formative stages of Brontes literary genius. It offers valuable insights into her roots as a writer, revealing the prolific creativity that would later culminate in her renowned works. A journey through these tales not only enriches our understanding of Brontes artistic evolution but also provides a timeless reflection on the struggles and aspirations that resonate across generations.

Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as distinct as is vice from virtue. Men too often confound them: they should not be confounded: appearance should not be mistaken for truth; narrow human doctrines, that only tend to elate and magnify a few, should not be substituted for the world redeeming creed of Christ. There isI repeat ita difference; and it is a good, and not a bad action to mark broadly and clearly the line of separation between them.The world may not like to see these ideas dissevered, for it has been accustomed to blend them; finding it convenient to make external show pass for sterling worthto let white washed walls vouch for clean shrines. It may hate him who dares to scrutinise and exposeto rase the gilding, and show base metal under itto penetrate the sepulchre, and reveal charnel relics: but hate as it will, it is indebted to him.

With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the small town of Villette. There, she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, the hostility of headmistress Madame Beck, and her own complex feelings - first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emanuel. Drawing on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels, Charlotte Bronte's autobiographical novel, the last published during her lifetime, is a powerfully moving study of loneliness and isolation, and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances. Helen M. Cooper's new introduction places the novel in the context of Bronte's life and career and argues for the importance of the novel as an exploration of imperialism. "I am only just returned to a sense of real wonder about me, for I have been reading Villette' George Eliot 'Her finest novel." (Virginia Woolf).

Charlotte Brontes first ever book, The Professor, is a love story full of feeling and emotion told from a male viewpoint - a must read for Brontefans. The first book ever to emerge from Charlotte Brontes pen, The Professor is an autobiographically inspired romantic love story set in Brussels. Thinly veiling her personal experiences, Bronteunusually uses a male narrator, making this a fascinating and unique read. With the action played out in dark boarding-school classrooms and windy streets, Bronteweaves a tale of much emotion - one that foresees the longer, better-known saga Villette that was to follow many years later. Fresh out of Eton, orphaned William Crimsworth finds himself in an unenviable situation - a clerk to his little-educated, caddish mill-owner brother - until opportunity presents itself for a complete change of fortune. Crimsworth is offered a job in Brussels as a teacher in an all-girls boarding school, run by a M Pelet. Later headhunted to a better position by the beguiling Zoraide Reuter, Crimsworth believes himself slightly enamoured with his new employer - only to discover her secretly and perfidiously engaged to M Pelet. His new position almost intolerable, Crimsworth finds solace in teaching Frances Henri, a young Swiss-English seamstress teacher with promising intelligence and ear for language. Mlle Reuter though, jealous of the young professors obvious partiality, dismisses Frances from her position. Crimsworth, in despair, is forced to resign from the school and takes up a ghostly existence in Brussels, roaming the streets in the hopes of finding his Frances. An often neglected classic, The Professor is not only a compellingly written novel but fascinating in its concern with gender issues, religion and social class, making it a book still studied today.

Pronounce quickly, monarch. If you die and make no sign on the subject, woe to Angria The sword of war is unsheathed and the blade will rankle in many a bosom ere Adrian be cold in his grave.Inspired by a box of wooden toy soldiers given as a present to her elder brother Branwell in 1826, Charlotte Bronte and her siblings created a series of tales centred originally upon the imaginary realm of Glass Town, and its capital Verdopolis, and then later on the land of Angria. In ''The Green Dwarf'', against the backdrop of war between the people of Verdopolis and Senegal, the arrogant aristocrat Colonel Percy and Mr Leslie, a low-born artist, are locked in a battle for the heart of the beautiful Lady Emily. Taking the form of a work written by the character Lord Charles Wellesley as an act of revenge, ''The Spell'' tells of the plight of the realms of Angria and Wellingtonsland after they are left without an heir due to the death of the Marquis of Almeida.Full of tragedy and passion, love and rivalry, the five sweeping tales contained in this volume display the precocious talent, lively imagination and flair for storytelling of the young Charlotte Bronte.
