Home Author Index Shakespeare The Bible ... Charlotte Bronte Fiction Jane Eyre Shirley The Professor Villette Poetry On The Death Of Anne Bronte Charlotte Bronte Search all of Charlotte Bronte English writer noted for her novel JANE EYRE (1847), 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. 'A little, plain, provincial, sickly-looking old maid', is how George Lewes described Charlotte Brontë to George Eliot. She was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, in the north of England. Charlotte was the daughter of an Anglican clergyman who had moved with his family to Haworth amid the Yorkshire moors in 1820. After their mother and two eldest children died, Chalotte was left with her sisters Emily and Anne and brother Branwell to the care of their father, and their strict, religious aunt, Elisabeth Branwell. To escape their unhappy surroundings, the children listened stories about the often violent behavior of the countryfolk. When other children enjoyed to play outdoors, they created imaginary kingdoms, which were built around Branwell's toy soldiers, and which inspired them to create continuing stories of fantasylands of Angria and Gondal. Charlotte attended Clergy Daughter's School in Lancashire in 1824. 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.

"Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am souless and heartless? You think wrong! I have as much soul as you and full as much heart!" Portrait of Charlotte Brontë drawn in chalk by George Richmond as can be seen at The Bronte Society Charlotte Brontë Detail of a portrait by Branwell Bronte So much has been written, speculated upon and theorized about Charlotte, (certainly by more scholarly folk than me) that it would be foolish of me to second guess their thoughts. However, I have studied her through her work, through biographies and through historical documentation and have come to the conclusion that Charlotte was truly the aggressor of the brilliant Brontë children. Judging from the fact that she was self-confident enough to turn down two marriage proposals before accepting one from Arthur Bell Nichols her father's curate, it doesn't appear to me that she as shy or retiring as the early Victorian writers, such as Mrs. Gaskell, would like us to believe. Further, it is well documented that she edited the original manuscript of Wuthering Heights and some poetry of Emily's after her death, which leads me to believe that the most important thing to Charlotte was staying within the social mores of her time, thus foregoing the original theory that Charlotte was a "rebel".

I will concentrate chiefly on the duality of the female personae, although I will also consider briefly the concept of doubling across gender boundaries. Miller maintains that 'doubles may appear to come from the outside as a form of possession, or from the inside, as a form of projection' [1]. Both novels explore this doubleness, between and within characters.

YOUR AD HERE You are HERE >> Language Arts : Literature : Grade 9 - 10 Authors of Lasting Fame By Elaine Ernst Schneider April 3, 2001 AMAZON PRODUCTS So Big by Edna Ferber Nathaniel Hawthorne Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem, Massachusetts. The Puritan overtones of his novel Scarlet Letter are no accident, as Hawthorne was descended from Puritan ancestors. When Nathaniel’s father, a ship captain, died on a voyage, Nathaniel’s mother moved the family to Maine where her brothers lived. Hawthorne attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, where he was a classmate of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. After graduation, Hawthorne returned to Salem with hopes of becoming a writer. His first writing attempts were short stories. Although these stories met with some popularity, they were not financially successful. Hawthorne took a job in a customs house to pay his living expenses. A collection of Hawthorne’s short stories was published in 1837 under the name of Twice-told Tales. This was followed by Mosses from an Old Manse. But it was not until 1850 that Hawthorne gained recognition as a noteworthy author and a master of allegorical tales. With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne’s genius for symbolism and his Puritan heritage proved to be a winning combination. While The Scarlet Letter received tremendous acceptance, Hawthorne feared that it was a bit dismal and vowed to write a happier novel for his next work. In 1851, Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables was published. Gable’s plot celebrated the power of love over a family curse. The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables were Hawthorne’s most famous works.

Society Summary Young Jane Eyre was orphaned and sent to live with her uncle, who dies shortly after her arrival. Her step-aunt despises her and sends her to Lowood School so that she can become a governess. She wins the friendship of everyone there, but her life is difficult because conditions are poor at the school. Not until typhus kills many of the students do conditions improve. Jane completes her education there and obtains a position as governess at a house called Thornfield. Jane's student is Adele Varens, a petulant but loving illegitimate child of the master of the house, Edward Rochester. Rochester is rarely at home and Jane spends most of her time with Adele and the housekeeper, Mrs. Fairfax. When Rochester does come home, he is often moody and imposing. One night, Jane wakes to strange noises and the smell of smoke. She finds Rochester unconscious in his bed, which is on fire. Other odd things happen in the house: Jane often hears strange laughter and thuds. Jane has meanwhile realized that she loves Rochester but in her pride refuses to confess it.

Now a National Trust property managed by Lancashire County Council, Gawthorpe Hall, a fine 17th Century house with 19th Century restoration, is set in riverside woods, and includes the following: 17th Century National Portrait Gallery paintings Jacobean and Victorian furnishings The Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth Textile Collections Elaborate ceilings and panellings With a special programme of events planned for 2001, Gawthorpe Hall brings history alive in East Lancashire's Bronte Country . Please contact Gawthorpe Hall on +44 (0)1282 771004 quoting ref. BHA for a special preview. History The Shuttleworth family has been associated with the Padiham area since the 14th Century. As their wealth, influence and social standing increased, Sir Richard Shuttleworth decided to build a hall, calling it "Gawthorpe" (meaning "the place of the cuckoo"). Work was started in 1600, and the building was completed in 1605. Gawthorpe Hall has associations with the English Civil War, as Colonel Sir Richard Shuttleworth commanded the parliamentary forces in the "Blackburn Hundred". In April 1642, within only 24 hours, Shuttleworth mustered 400 men and routed Prince Rupert's 4000 strong army at Read Bridge, thus effectively ending the Royalist cause in Lancashire.

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Charlotte Bronte (1816-55) Charlotte Bronte was born in 1816, the third child of Reverend Patrick Bronte and Maria Branwell Bronte. The couple had a total of six children before Maria Bronte died of cancer in 1821. The Reverend Bronte subsequently treated his children Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Patrick Branwell, Emily, and Anne in a severe manner. He also had the five girls sent to school at Cowan Bridge. At the Clergy Daughter's school conditions were poor. When fever broke out at the school, Maria and Elizabeth succumbed to the disease. Consequently, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne were withdrawn and brought home. The children's aunt, Aunt Bess became their new instructor. Though the four children were deeply affected by the death of their two sisters they filled their spare time with endeavors to fulfill their imaginations. This was perhaps necessary given the fact that the environment that surrounded them was the dreary moor of Yorkshire, England. For example, when their father gave Patrick Branwell a box of toy soldiers, they used these miniatures as a source of inspiration to begin their respective writing adventures. Thus, the Bronte children began to write at an early age as a response to the fantasies of their youth. Charlotte Bronte was sent away to the Roe Head School in 1831. Her father's health was in jeopardy, and he wanted his daughter to be capable of being economically independent. Mrs. Wooler headed the Roe Head school. There were seven to ten students at the school during the two years that Charlotte spent at the school. The school was more like a small family than a boarding school.
