pseudopodium: Brontë And now there's another one, this time dedicated to the theory that Charlotte Brontë was a criminal mastermind who successfully poisoned Emily Brontë, Anne Brontë, and Branwell Brontë, only to be poisoned in turn by her new husband. Probably because Charlotte Brontë revealed herself in her writing (unlike Emily Brontë) with a singularly honest viciousness (unlike Anne Brontë), she's often been targeted by simpleminded vulgarizers. I don't know who makes a sillier murderer, Charlotte Brontë, whose most unlikable trait was her stranglehold on moral superiority, or husband Whatsisname, whose only noticeable humor was phlegm. www.pseudopodium.org /search.cgi?Brontë

ipedia.com: Charlotte Brontë Article Charlotte Brontë Brontë was born at Thornton, in Yorkshire, England, the eldest surviving daughter of a clergyman, Patrick Brontë. Charlotte's mother died when she was five, and she was sent, with three of her four sisters, to a boarding school where the appalling conditions had a long-term effect on their health. In 1835, Charlotte returned to her former school to work as a teacher, a career in which she continued, on and off, for several years. www.ipedia.com /charlotte_bronte.html   (322 words)

Literary Encyclopedia: Charlotte Brontë Charlotte Brontë was born on 21 April 1816 at Thornton, a small township close to the centre of Bradford in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Charlotte’s fiction is full of motherless and orphaned heroines whose loneliness and deprivation is so often the driving force behind their search for a place of belonging. The critical depiction of the school at Lowood in Jane Eyre drew on Charlotte’s experiences at Cowan Bridge and her eldest sister, Maria, was the inspiration for the character of Helen Burns. www.literaryencyclopedia.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=582   (625 words)

Romanticism On the Net 17 (February 2000) She examines canonical writers of the genre—Charlotte Smith, Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen, Charlotte Dacre Byrne, Mary Shelley, and Emily and Charlotte Brontë—and argues that we should read their works as both rebelling against patriarchical limitations and "encourag[ing] women to assume subject positions of acquiescence and passivity" (p. At the heart of the gothic heroine's self-victimization, she explains, is the masquerade, a posture of emotional restraint, decorous reason, and "wise passiveness" (merely a kind of passive-aggression) that we recognize in heroines throughout the history of the genre. If such details as Dacre's debt to Lewis get lost, it is because Gothic Feminism is part of a larger, more ambitious attempt to describe both the male (romantic) and female (gothic) response to shifts in Western European notions of gender during the eighteenth century. users.ox.ac.uk /~scat0385/17hoeveler.html   (625 words)

Deborah Kennedy, On _Gothic Feminism: The Professionalization of Gender from Charlotte Smith to the Brontes_ - Romantic Circles Reviews, Romantic Circles Concentrating on gothic novels written by women, Hoeveler traces patterns within the genre, ranging from the work of Charlotte Smith in the late eighteenth century to that of the Brontës in the nineteenth century, with two chapters on Ann Radcliffe forming the core of the book. The book begins with an analysis of Charlotte Smith's Emmeline, the Orphan of the Castle, showing how its plot will be mirrored in so many subsequent works that follow the virtuous young heroine as she negotiates the dangers of the patriarchal world. Although Hoeveler attempts to rescue Smith's novel from neglect, this is perhaps the least interesting section of her book. www.rc.umd.edu /reviews/back/hoeveler.html   (1122 words)

homepage.html I have written numerous articles on reader-response criticism and deconstruction, as well as on such women writers as Charlotte Brontë, L.M. Montgomery, Margaret Atwood, Louise Rosenblatt, Fannie Hurst, Zora Neale Hurston, and Charlotte Lennox. Drawing on archival scholarship and contemporary theoretical frameworks, this study provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of eighteenth-century women and men as well as some new perspectives on epistolary discourse, female friendship, intellectual women, sentimental coquettes, and companionate wives. This has meant reading women who were never taught when I was a student; reading men from a different angle; and coming to terms with difference. www.gettysburg.edu /~tberg/homepage.html   (303 words)

Anne Brontë (1820-1849) In startling contrast to Charlotte's portrayal of Weightman as someone who "ought not to have been a parson", Patrick Brontë and others who worked with Weightman spoke of the piety and dedication that he displayed in his clerical duties. In the end Patrick intervened, removing Charlotte's last defense against the plan by stating his willingness to be left with the servants in Haworth, and requesting that Charlotte accompany Anne. This has occurred to a large extent because Anne is very different, as a person and as a writer, from Charlotte and Emily. digital.library.upenn.edu /women/bronte/bronte-anne.html   (6822 words)

The Brontës by Peter Davies Indeed, it can be seen to have been given its initial impetus by Mrs Gaskell's biography of Charlotte, which was published in 1857, only two years after Charlotte died. Thus, the stage was set, from the very inauguration of Brontë studies, for an interest (frequently mounting to obsession) in the characters of individual members of the Brontë family which has ever since contended with - and often triumphed over - the desire calmly to estimate their literary merits. Barker set out to bury, once and for all, the Brontë myth by seeking to demonstrate that much of what we would regard as bleak, austere, uncomfortable, disease ridden and, above all, death accompanied was normality for such times as those, and is therefore scarcely worthy of remark. www.greenex.co.uk /bronte.html   (677 words)
