Extractions: Emily Bronte (1818-1848) "Emily Jane Bronte was born at Thornton in Yorkshire on 30 July 1818, the fifth of six children of Patrick and Maria Bronte (nee Branwell). Two years later, her father was appointed perpetual curate of Haworth, a small, isolated hill village surrounded by moors. Her mother died shortly after her third birthday and she and her sisters and brother were brought up by their aunt, Elizabeth Branwell. Apart from a few short periods, she remained in Haworth. Her only close friendships were those with her brother Branwell and her sisters Charlotte and Anne; only three perfunctory letters by her survive. "From accounts by those who knew Emily Jane Bronte, there emerges a consistent portrait of a reserved, courageous woman with a commanding will and manner. In the biographical note to the 1850 edition of Wuthering Heights , Charlotte Bronte attributes to her sister 'a secret power and fire that might have informed the brain and kindled the veins of a hero', while Monsignor Heger, who taught her in Brussels, was impressed by her 'powerful reason' and 'strong, imperious will'. "Emily Jane Bronte began writing poems at an early age and published twenty-one of them, together with poems by Anne and Charlotte, in 1846 in a slim volume titled

Extractions: Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Bronte were three sisters who all wrote poetry and novels. Charlotte and Emily, in particular, have had an important influence on English literature. The parents of the Bronte sisters were Patrick Bronte, born in 1777 in Ireland, and Maria Branwell, born in Cornwall in 1783. They were married in 1812. Patrick, who received a degree from Cambridge, was a clergyman. Both of the Bronte parents had an interest in literature. Patrick published unremarkable volumes of prose and poetry, and Maria's unpublished writings show some literary talent. They had six children, five girls and one boy, who were born between 1813 and 1820. Patrick was appointed the curate at Howarth in Yorkshire, where the Bronte children grew up. Located on the Yorkshire moors, this setting was to have a great influence on the sisters' later writing. Maria died in 1821, and three years later, the four older girls, Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, and Emily, were sent to boarding school. The conditions there were harsh, and the girls were very unhappy. Charlotte later used the boarding school as a model for Lowood in Jane Eyre . The two oldest sisters died there, and Charlotte and Emily returned to Howarth.

Extractions: or presentations of published writers. By Robbin Romiguiere "Between twelve and one that night a cup was forced to my lips, black, strong, strange, drawn from no well, but filled up seething from a bottomless and boundless sea. Suffering brewed in temporal of calculable measure, and mixed for mortal lips, tastes not as this suffering tasted. Having drank and woke, I thought all was over: the end come and past by. Trembling fearfully-as consciousness returned-ready to cry out on some fellow-creature to help me, only that I knew no fellow-creature was near enough to catch the wild summons" There have been many accounts of the life of Charlotte Bronte-many a controversy-but the words of Charlotte Bronte alone splash her character with the warmth of rainbow pastels and the cold chill of winters stormy gray. Pages and pages of detailed scenery, witty cross-the-social-boundary dialogue and controversial nineteenth-century economical, political and social scenario tell todays reader more than just Charlotte Brontes passions and thoughts of her day. Understanding Charlotte Bronte takes a little more than the mere readings of a chronological biography or an analytical study of her life alone, the words she wrote tell a great deal more.

English Literature The Bronte Sisters Siostry Bronte Charlotte Bronte Charlotte Brontë was born in April 1816, the third of six children of Patrick and Maria Bronte. The major event of her young life was the death of her mother in 1821. In 1824, Charlotte and her two older sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, were sent to the newly-opened Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters' School. Conditions there were bad even by the standards of the time, and it was not long before both Maria and Elizabeth became ill enough to be sent home, where they both died of consumption in the spring of 1825. Patrick brought Charlotte and her younger sister Emily, who had recently joined them at the school, back home as soon as the other girls became ill, but Charlotte in particular never forgot what the school had been like. The surviving kids all became each others' best friends. They created the kingdom of Gondal and wrote all kinds of epic stories and poems set in that realm. Charlotte and Branwell were in charge of Angria proper, while Emily and Anne (the youngest) ran the neighboring kingdom of Gondal. Charlotte's next adventure was going to school in Brussels with Emily in 1842. Charlotte's time there was brief, less than two years, but it led to her eventual writing of

http://www.novelguide.com/wutheringheights/biography.html

Extractions: Emily Brontë was born on July 30, 1818 in Thornton, England on the Yorkshire moor, the fifth of Patrick and Maria Branwell Brontës six children. In 1920 the family moved to Haworth. In 1821 Maria Branwell died, leaving Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell motherless. Emily, Charlotte, Maria and Elizabeth were sent to Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters School, where the bad conditions caused Maria and Elizabeth to be sent home with the tuberculosis that killed them in 1825. In 1837 Emily spent some time teaching in Halifax, and in 1842 she and Charlotte went to Brussels for more school, with Emily soon returning home. Emily spent much of her life at home in Haworth and had few friends. Because of her rather withdrawn and reclusive life, not much is known about her. She did enjoy walking on the moors, and she took care of an older servant and her brother Branwell who died in 1848 because of his excessive drinking. Emily, Anne and Charlotte began writing mythology when they were children, stemming from the stories they made up about imaginary worlds such as Gondal and Angria. In 1846 the three sisters financed and published a book of Poems under the pseudonyms Ellis, Acton and Currer Bell. Although only two copies sold, the good reviews encouraged them to continue their writing, and soon plays, serial stories and other writings emerged.

http://www.literatureclassics.com/authors/BronteAnn/

Extractions: Anne, the youngest and most reserved of the Brontë sisters, was only a year old when her mother died. She was subsequently educated at home. Like her sisters, she also became a governess which was successful for her until the arrival of her brother Branwell as a tutor with the same family. Anne felt complelled to assist Branwell's effots for literary sucess but this had an unfortunate influence on her own literary progress. Her novel, The Tenent of Windfell Hall appears to be reflective of Branwell's acoholism and drug addition. This subject matter created a disturbance and was considered to unsavoury for a woman writer. Anne's novels and poems have been more favuorably reviewed in recent years.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Fraser's Magazine , and The Edinburgh Review . Inspired by a box of 12 wooden soldiers, the children wove tales and legends associated with remote Africa. With these tales the children broke the monotonous daily routines, like they later poured their joys and disappointment in their novels. Emily and Anne created their own Gondal saga, and Charlotte and Branwell recorded their stories in minute notebooks.

She returned home next year because of the harsh conditions. In 1831 she went to school at Roe Head, where she later worked as a teacher. However, she fell ill, suffered from melancholia, and gave up this post. Charlotte's attempts to earn her living as a governess were hindered by her disabling shyness, her ignorance of normal children, and her yearning to be with her sisters. In 1842 Charlotte travelled to Brussels with Emily to learn French, German, and management. Her attempt to open a school failed in 1844. The collection of poems, Poems by Currer Ellis and Acton Bell (1846), which she wrote with her sisters, sold only two copies. By this time the sisters had finished a novel; Charlotte's first, The Professor , never found a publisher in her lifetime, but Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Grey were accepted by Thomas Newby in 1847 and published next year.

Extractions: BRONTE, CHARLOTTE In April 1820, three months after the birth of Anne Bront, her father accepted the living of Haworth, a village near Keighley in Yorkshire, which will always be associated with the romantic story of the Bronts. In September of the following year his wife died. Maria Bront lives for us in her daughters biography only as the writer of certain letters to her dear saucy Pat, as she calls her lover, and as the author of a recently published manuscript, an essay entitled The Advantages of Poverty in Religious Concerns, full of a sententiousness much affected at the time.

Hij leert zichzelf lezen en slaagt er zelfs in te gaan studeren aan het St Johns College in Cambridge. Hier wordt stilaan de familienaam veranderd van Brunty over Bronte en Bronté naar Brontë (ter info: Lord Nelson was in 1799 benoemd tot hertog van Brontë). Wanneer Patrick Brontë, ondertussen hulppredikant, in 1812 trouwt met Maria Branwell, weesdochter van een welvarende koopman in Penzance vestigen ze zich in Hartshead waar hun oudste twee dochters geboren worden: Maria in 1813 en Elizabeth in 1815. Dan verhuizen ze naar Thornton waar nog vier kinderen geboren worden: Charlotte in 1816, Patrick Branwell in 1817, Emily Jane in 1818 en Anne in 1820.

http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/bronte.html

Extractions: Bronte Syllabus Just as Emily Dickinson's life gave rise to the Myth of the Recluse, so the Bronte homelife gave rise to the Myth of the Lonely Geniuses and to stories which sentimentalized the three Bronte sisters and demonized their homelife. For instance, there is the story that their father, a minister, fired his gun in the house. Another story runs that while his wife, who had born six children in seven years, lay dying, he destroyed her only silk dress. Stories like these are now regarded as false. Nonetheless, it is true that their homelife was difficult. Their mother died when Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and their brother Branwell were children; the two oldest sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, died young. Branwell was a drug addict and an alcoholic whom Charlotte, Emily, and Anne nursed through his collapses, his psychosis, and his final days. The devoted sisters found support and companionship in one another; at night, they read their novels and their poems to one another. Their society did not encourage women to fulfill their talents. The twenty-year old Charlotte wrote to Robert Southey, the poet laureate, for his opinion about writing. His response shows the barriers facing women writers: "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure will she have for it, even as an accomplishment and a recreation."
