Anne Brontë

    17. leden 1820 – 28. květen 1849

    Anne Brontëová se ve svém díle odklonila od romantismu svých sester a místo toho se soustředila na realistické zobrazení světa s ostrovtipem a ironií. Její romány, inspirované osobními zkušenostmi a zkoumající postavení žen a společenské problémy, vynikají upřímností a psychologickou hloubkou. Díky svému jedinečnému stylu a odvážnému přístupu k tématu si zaslouží uznání jako významná autorka anglické literatury.

      The Tenant of Wildfell Hall; Volume I
    • Anne Brontë (1820-1849) was a British novelist and poet, the youngest member of the Brontë literary family. She lived most of her life with her family at the remote village of Haworth on the Yorkshire moors. For a couple of years she went to a boarding school. At the age of nineteen, she left Haworth working as a governess between 1839 and 1845. After leaving her teaching position, she fulfilled her literary ambitions. She wrote a volume of poetry with her sisters (Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, 1846) and in short succession she wrote two novels: Agnes Grey, based upon her experiences as a governess, was published in 1847; her second and last novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall appeared in 1848. Anne's creative life was cut short with her death of pulmonary tuberculosis when she was only twentynine years old. She wrote in a realistic, rather than a romantic style. Her novels have become classics of English literature.

      The Brontë Sisters
    • In this special collectible edition, we explore themes of love, struggle, and survival, and coming of age through the eyes of one of literature's most famous families of the 1800s.

      Bronte Sisters Box Set
    • The literary masterpieces of the three Brontë sisters in one volume: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. This handsome leather-bound edition includes the most acclaimed novels of each of the Brontë sisters: Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, Emily’s Wuthering Heights, and Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Originally published under male pseudonyms in the 1840s, these three novels later helped give rise to the feminist literary movement of the late nineteenth century, in which women’s perspectives became more accepted by the mainstream reading public. A scholarly introduction provides an overview of the sisters’ childhood in northern England, their literary influences, and their enduring legacy.

      Selected Works of the Brontë Sisters
    • Set in the dramatic northern landscape made familiar by the author's more famous sisters, it tells the story of Helen Graham, a mysterious single woman who rents the semi-ruinous Hall of the title.
