Résumé

This ebook edition contains the unabridged and complete works of the Brontë Family (Anne, Charlotte, Emily, Branwell and Patrick Brontë) with a detailed and functional table of contents.

The Brontës were a nineteenth-century literary family associated with the village of Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (born 21 April 1816, in Thornton near Bradford), Emily (born 30 July 1818 in Thornton), and Anne (born 17 January 1820 in Thornton), are well known as poets and novelists. They originally published their poems and novels under masculine pseudonyms, following the custom of the times practised by female writers. Their stories immediately attracted attention, although not always the best, for their passion and originality. Charlotte's Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily's Wuthering Heights, Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were later to be accepted as masterpieces of literature.
The three sisters and their brother, Branwell, were very close and they developed their childhood imaginations through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories. The confrontation with the deaths first of their mother then of their two older sisters marked them profoundly and influenced their writing.
Their fame was due as much to their own tragic destinies as to their precociousness. Since their early deaths, and then the death of their father in 1861, they were subject to a following that did not cease to grow. Their home, the parsonage at Haworth in Yorkshire, now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, has become a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

Branwell Brontë (auteur)

Patrick Branwell Brontë was born 26th June 1817. The fourth and only son of the six Brontë children, as such it was always intended that of the family he should be encouraged in his chosen career of writer and artist. But sadly, it wasn’t to be. After the early deaths of his mother and elder sisters Maria and Elizabeth, his life, already haunted by bereavement and disease would be further plagued by depression, alcoholism and numerous occupational set backs.

Ironically, where their fading brother was destined to go unpublished, under the assumed name Bell, (Currer, Charlotte; Ellis, Emily; and Acton, Anne) behind their brother’s back, secretly flourished the prestigious talents of his three surviving sisters. The likes of ‘Jane Eyre’ prospering amongst volumes of Branwell’s confused and fragmentary literary efforts set in his imaginary world of ‘Angria’ and starring his swashbuckling alter-ego ‘Northangerland’. (Pictured above)

For all that, of what the rest of his family were entirely unaware, was the dawn of Branwell’s foremost brainchild; a vivid account of his own disheartening love story. A book that in order to see completed, in the very last days of his life, he literally hurled across the centuries.

Branwell Brontë lived at the Parsonage, in Haworth Village, West Yorkshire. He died aged 31 in September 1848. Not until 2015 would time finally see published this, his first and part-posthumous novel, ‘Push Me Away’.
