Описание: Male literary friendships are the stuff of legend, but what about the friendships of women writers? A Secret Sisterhood, drawing on letters and diaries, some never published before, brings to light a wealth of surprising female collaborations: the friendship between Jane Austen and one of the family servants, amateur playwright Anne Sharp; the daring feminist author Mary Taylor, who shaped the work of Charlotte Bront ; the transatlantic friendship of the seemingly aloof George Eliot and the ebullient Harriet Beecher Stowe; and Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield, most often portrayed as bitter foes, but who, in fact, enjoyed a complex friendship. They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes supportive and inspiring, but always--until now--tantalizingly consigned to the shadows.

Описание:
They must coax his hidden talent out into full bloom. He must be driven enough, in imagination, talented enough to support them all.
Branwell Bront --brother of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne--has a childhood marked by tragedy and the weight of expectations. After the early deaths of his mother and a beloved older sister, he is kept away from school and tutored at home by his father, a curate, who rests all his ambitions for his children on his only son. Branwell grows up isolated in his family's parsonage on the moors, learning Latin and Greek, being trained in painting, and collaborating on endless stories and poems with his sisters. Yet while his sisters go on to write Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, Branwell wanders from job to job, growing increasingly dependent on alcohol and opium and failing to become a great poet or artist. With rich, suggestive sentences "perfectly fitted to this famously imaginative, headstrong family" (Publishers Weekly) Branwell is a portrait of childhood dreams, thwarted desire, the confinements of gender--and an homage to the landscape and milieu that inspired some of the most revolutionary works of English literature. A new edition with an introduction by Darcey Steinke.

Описание: Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong --I have as much soul as you, --and full as much heart Charlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre is a beloved classic, celebrated today by readers of all ages and revered as a masterwork of literary prowess. But what of the famous writer herself? Originally published under the pseudonym of Currer Bell, Jane Eyre was born out of a magnificent, vivid imagination, a deep cultivation of skill, and immense personal hardship and tragedy. Charlotte, like her sisters Emily and Anne, was passionate about her work. She sought to cast an empathetic lens on characters often ignored by popular literature of the time, questioning societal assumptions with a sharp intellect and changing forever the landscape of western literature. With an introduction by Alison Bechdel, Charlotte Bront before Jane Eyre presents a stunning examination of a woman who battled against the odds to make her voice heard.

Описание: This is volume II of Francis A. Leyland's 1886 work "The Bront Family", a detailed investigation into the lives and works of the seminal English literary family. The Bront s were a famous literary family during the nineteenth century synonymous with the West Riding area of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (1816-1855), Emily (1818-1848), and Anne (1820-1849), are now world-famous poets and novelists; and their father, Patrick Bront (1777 - 1861), was also an author. Numerous novels produced by this family have since become classics of English literature. Contents include: "Charlotte And Emily In Brussels", "Other Poems", "A Misplaced Attachment", "'Branwell's Fall, ' As Set Forth In The Biographies Of His Sisters", "Branwell's Projected Novel", "'Real Rest.'", "The Sisters' Poems And Novels", "Despondency", "Branwell's Letters And Last Interview With Mr. Grundy", etc. This volume offers fantastic insights into the people behind the literature, exploring their letters, relationships, friends, and more in wonderful detail. "The Bront Family" constitutes a must-read for those with an interest in the work of the three sisters, and it is not to be missed by students of English literature or its history. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of literature lovers now and for years to come.
