Beschreibungen

In 1834, Charlotte Brontë and her brother Branwell created the imaginary kingdom of Angria in a series of tiny handmade books. Continuing their saga some years later, the five 'novelettes' in this volume were written by Charlotte when she was in her early twenties, and depict an aristocratic beau monde in witty, racy and ironic language. She creates an exotic, scandalous atmosphere of intrigue and destructive passions, with a cast ranging from the ageing rake Northangerland and his Byronic son-in-law Zamorna, King of Angria, to Mary Percy, Zamorna's lovesick wife, and Charles Townshend, the cynical, gossipy narrator. Together the tales provide a fascinating glimpse into the mind and creative processes of the young writer who was to become one of the world's great novelists. Charlotte Brontë (1816 – 1855) worked as a teacher and governess before collaborating on a book of poetry with her two sisters, Emily and Anne, who were writers as well. In 1847, Brontë published the semi-autobiographical novel Jane Eyre, which was a hit and would become a literary classic. Her other novels included Shirley and Villette. Patrick Branwell Brontë (1817 – 1848) was a painter, and writer and poet, the only son of the Brontë family, and the brother of the writers Charlotte, Emily, and Anne.
Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) was an English novelist and poet, now most renowned for her novel 'Jane Eyre', which has become a classic of English literature. Born in Thornton, West Yorkshire, Charlotte was the third of the six Brontë children and the elder sister of fellow authors Emily and Anne Brontë. Home-educated in a rural parsonage, Charlotte and her siblings created intricate worlds such as Angria, which featured in her juvenilia works, 'Tales of Angria' and 'Angria and the Angrians'. These early writings offer a glimpse into the formative creative exercises Brontë engaged in, which laid the groundwork for her mature literary style characterized by psychological depth, a strong sense of place, and a critical examination of societal norms, particularly concerning women's independence and integrity. Brontë's narrative voice is known for its directness and moral firmness, attributes that contributed to the prevailing realism that marked her work as innovative for the period. Her literary contributions extend beyond 'Jane Eyre' to other notable works such as 'Shirley' and 'Villette', constantly reflecting her sharp intellect and the subtle rebellious spirit with which she challenged the status quo of her time. After years of enduring hardship, marked by the loss of her siblings and her own health struggles, Charlotte Brontë died in 1855, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire scholars and readers worldwide.
