Bøger af Charlotte Brontë

Questi racconti fantastici rappresentano i primi esperimenti letterari di un’ancora giovanissima Charlotte Brontë.Con personaggi e ambientazioni memorabili, tra fantasia e una più che vivida rappresentazione delle dure condizioni di vita dei bambini della propria epoca, la grande autrice di "Jane Eyre" assembla una serie di racconti insieme vivaci e commoventi. Umani, insomma, a trecentosessanta gradi. Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) nasce a Thornton, figlia di un pastore protestante e di un'insegnante. È la terzogenita di sei figli: le due sorelle minori Emily ed Anne saranno a loro volta scrittrici (autrici, rispettivamente, di Cime tempestose e Agnes Grey). Nel corso della sua vita assisterà alla morte di ogni membro della famiglia, con l'esclusione del padre. Nel 1842, dopo aver lavorato come insegnante ed istitutrice privata, si reca con la sorella Emily a Bruxelles, con l'intento di studiare il francese. Fra il 1847 e il 1853 dà alle stampe i suoi capolavori (Jane Eyre, Shirley, e Villette), per poi assecondare il volere paterno e sposare il reverendo Nicholls (1854). Muore poco dopo, a causa di complicazioni legate alla prima gravidanza.

Shirley is an 1849 social novel by the English novelist Charlotte Brontë. It was Brontë's second published novel after Jane Eyre (originally published under Brontë's pseudonym Currer Bell). The novel is set in Yorkshire in the period 1811-12, during the industrial depression resulting from the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. The novel is set against a backdrop of the Luddite uprisings in the Yorkshire textile industry. The novel's popularity led to Shirley's becoming a woman's name. The title character was given the name that her father had intended to give a son. Before the publication of the novel, Shirley was an uncommon - but distinctly male - name and would have been an unusual name for a woman.Today it is regarded as a distinctly female name and an uncommon male name. PLOT: Robert Moore is a mill owner noted for apparent ruthlessness towards his employees - more than any other mill owner in town. He has laid off many of them, apparently indifferent to their consequent impoverishment. In fact he had no choice, since the mill is deeply in debt. The mill was inefficiently run by his late father and is already mortgaged. His elder brother became a private tutor, leaving Robert to return the mill to profitability. He is determined to restore his family's honour and fortune. As the novel opens, Robert awaits delivery of new labour-saving machinery for the mill which will enable him to lay off additional employees. Together with some friends he watches all night, but the machinery is destroyed on the way to the mill by angry millworkers. Robert's business difficulties continue, due in part to continuing labour unrest, but even more so to the Napoleonic Wars and the accompanying Orders in Council which forbid British merchants from trading in American markets. Robert is very close to Caroline Helstone, who comes to his house to be taught French by his sister, Hortense. Caroline worships Robert and he likes her. Caroline's father is dead and her mother had abandoned her, leaving her to be brought up by her uncle, the local parson, Rev. Helstone. Caroline is penniless, and so to keep himself from falling in love with her, Robert keeps his distance since he cannot afford to marry for pleasure or for love. He has to marry for money if he is to restore his mill to profitability. Caroline realizes that Robert is growing increasingly distant and withdraws into herself. Her uncle does not sympathise with her 'fancies', and she has no money of her own, so she cannot leave, which is what she longs to do. She suggests taking up the job of a governess but her uncle dismisses it and assures her that she need not work for a living. Caroline cheers up a great deal, however, when she meets Shirley. Shirley is a landowner, an independent heiress whose parents are dead and who lives with Mrs. Pryor, an old governess. Shirley is lively, cheerful, full of ideas about how to use her money and how to help people, and very interested in business concerns. Caroline and Shirley soon become close friends. They dislike social hypocrisy and wish they could do something significant with their lives. As Caroline gets closer to Shirley, she notices that Shirley and Robert are becoming good friends too, which makes her think that they will end up marrying. Shirley likes Robert, is very interested in his work, and is concerned about him and the threats he receives from laid-off millworkers. .....

Jane Eyre es una novela publicada en 1847 que -en el momento de su aparición- consiguió gran popularidad, encumbrando a la autora como una de las mejores novelistas románticas, y es hoy considerada un clásico de la literatura en lengua inglesa. Tuvo un éxito inmediato, tanto para los lectores como para la crítica. Uno de sus más acérrimos defensores fue el escritor William Makepeace Thackeray, al cual muchos atribuyeron la obra, pues la autora permaneció en el anonimato hasta un tiempo después de su publicación. Como agradecimiento, Charlotte le dedicó la segunda edición de su novela. La novela es considerada una de las primeras novelas feministas.

Men and women who, perhaps, naturally very calm, and with feelings moderate in degree, and little marked in kind, have been trained from their cradle to observe the utmost evenness of manner and guardedness of language, will hardly know what to make of the rough, strong utterance, the harshly manifested passions, the unbridled aversions, and headlong partialities of unlettered moorland hinds and rugged moorland squires, who have grown up untaught and unchecked, except by Mentors as harsh as themselves. A large class of readers, likewise, will suffer greatly

The novel Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel is set somewhere in the north of England, during the reign of George III (1760-1820), and goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead Hall, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but suffers privations and oppression; her time as governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family, during which her earnest but cold clergyman cousin, St. John Rivers, proposes to her; and her reunion with, and marriage to, her beloved Rochester. During these sections the novel provides perspectives on a number of important social issues and ideas, many of which are critical of the status quo (see the Themes section below). Literary critic Jerome Beaty opines that the close first person perspective leaves the reader "too uncritically accepting of her worldview", and often leads reading and conversation about the novel towards supporting Jane, regardless of how irregular her ideas or perspectives
