With an Introduction and Notes by Peter Merchant, Canterbury Christchurch University CollegeThe Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious ‘tenant’ of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband. Defying convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young son from his father’s influence, and earns her own living as an artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with her.On its first publication in 1848, Anne Brontë’s second novel was criticised for being ‘coarse’ and ‘brutal’. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenges the social conventions of the early nineteenth century in a strong defence of women’s rights in the face of psychological abuse from their husbands.Anne Brontë’s style is bold, naturalistic and passionate, and this novel, which her sister Charlotte considered ‘an entire mistake’, has earned Anne a position in English literature in her own right, not just as the youngest member of the Brontë family.This newly reset text is taken from a copy of the 1848 second edition in the Library of the Brontë Parsonage Museum and has ...

Introduction by Joyce Carol Oates • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American ReadInitially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyreerupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world’s most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work “of great genius.” Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Brontë’s masterpiece introduced the world to a radical new type of heroine, one whose defiant virtue and moral courage departed sharply from the more acquiescent and malleable female characters of the day. Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world’s most beloved novels.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue. The Professor is Charlotte Brontes first novel, in which she audaciously inhabits the voice and consciousness of a man, William Crimsworth. Like Jane Eyre he is parentless; like Lucy Snowe in Villette he leaves the certainties of England to forge a life in Brussels.But as a man, William has freedom of action, and as a writer Bronte is correspondingly liberated, exploring the relationship between power and sexual desire. William's first person narration reveals his attraction to the dominating directress of the girls' school where he teaches, played out in the school's 'secret garden'. Balanced against this is his more temperate relationship with one of his pupils, Frances Henri, in which mastery and submission interplay.The Professor was published only after Charlotte Brontes death; today it gives us a fascinating insight into the first stirrings of her supreme creative imagination.

And one of the most mysterious.Based entirely on rarely seen private letters, this radical and moving biography sheds new light on the dramatic events of Brontë’s turbulent last years of grief, fulfilment and tragedy – and exposes the astonishing media scandal that followed her early death, when her friends and family battled to control how history would remember her.

The poems of Emily Jane Bronte are passionate and powerful works that convey the vitality of the human spirit and of the natural world. Only twenty-one of her poems were published during her lifetime - this volume contains those and all others attributed to her. Many poems describe the mythic country of Gondal and its citizens that she imagined with Anne, and remain the only surviving record of their joint creation. Other visionary works, including 'Remembrance' and 'No coward soul is mine', boldly confront mortality and anticipate life after death. And poems such as 'Redbreast early in the morning' and 'The blue bell is the sweetest flower' evoke the wild beauties of nature she observed on the Yorkshire moors, while also examining the state of her psyche.

Zlá teta ji po jednom incidentu pošle do internátní školy, kde je s dívkami špatně zacházeno – jsou nuceny žít v zimě, téměř bez jídla, jsou fyzicky trestány, musí se mýt v ledové vodě. Janin už tak smutný osud je tak najednou ještě krutější. Toto nepříliš šťastné dětství však posiluje její přirozenou nezávislost, sílu a ducha, které se ukážou jako nezbytné, když najde zaměstnání jako vychovatelka u zadumaného pana Rochestera.Jak se její city k Rochesterovi postupně prohlubují, Jane odkrývá strašlivé tajemství panství Thornfield Hall, které ji nutí se jednou provždy rozhodnout. Má zůstat s Rochesterem a žít s následky, které by to mohlo přinést, nebo se řídit svým přesvědčením, i kdyby to znamenalo opustit muže, kterého miluje?Román vyobrazující ženskou honbu za rovností a svobodou si již ve své době získal spoustu obdivovatelů a slavil velké úspěchy u čtenářů i kritiků. Na tehdejší poměry je velice pokrokový a nekopíruje pouze prvky romantismu, ale objevují se v něm i nové, realistické a gotické motivy.
