The seven novels of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë took advantage of the change spurred on by the Industrial Revolution in order to argue—often obliquely but at times directly—for equality for women in the Victorian Age.

This book provides a clear historical and theoretical framework for reading three important novels published in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century. Examining the novels by Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell, the book offers an analysis of their strategies for radical reforms and for the restructuring of society and politics through improvements in the living and working conditions of the working class. The Industrial Novels begins with an introduction of the Industrial Revolution, which is then followed by chapters devoted to a detailed discussion of each novel. Through this, the book explores the negative social, political and economic effects of industrialization and urbanization, as reflected in Charlotte Brontë’s Shirley (1849), Charles Dickens’ Hard Times (1854), and Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South (1855). As such, the book will be of interest to academics and students in the fields of both literature and sociology.

Wuthering Heights is unique among novels of its time for its poetic presentation, its lack of authorial comment, and its unusual narrative structure, exerting the energies of hate and love from the confined world of the story. The book deeply challenged embedded Victorian conventions regarding gender equality, religion, and class. This compelling volume discusses the author Emily Bronte's background, the details of which are still not well understood; class conflict in the context of rural and industrial Britain; and contemporary perspectives on class conflict.

The novels of Charlotte and Emily Bronte have become canonical texts for the application of twentieth century literary and cultural theory. Along with the work of their sister, Anne, their texts are regarded as a sources of diversity in themselves, full of conflictual material which different schools of criticism have analysed and interpreted. This book shows how the Brontes writings engage with the major issues which dominate twentieth century theoretical work. The essays are grouped under broad schools of theory- biographical; feminist; marxist; psychoanalytical and postcolonial.

Beautifully readable modern prose translations of the classic 19th-century verses of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte The 19th-century British sisters produced much fine literature. They are most famous for their novels – Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Anne Bronte’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and so on. However, they also wrote profound and distinctive poems on many topics. They are most famous for their novels – Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Anne Bronte’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and so on. However, they also wrote profound and distinctive poems on many topics. Their poetry dealt with issues in faith, morality, and society. They reflected on love, personal loss, and introspection – and explored themes of passion, solitude, and spirituality. The poems contain remarkable descriptions of nature and the supernatural. We find in them expressions of intense emotion and awesomely vivid imagery. Charlotte Bronte penned her renowned poem “Gilbert” at age 13. She continued writing throughout her life with various magazines publishing her poems alongside her novels. Emily Bronte (1818 -1848) and Anne Bronte (1820 -1849) had most of their poetry published in the book Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell (1846). The sisters used masculine pen names for privacy and because the society of the time was often reluctant to take female writers seriously. However, norms have changed. Today, the Bronte novels and poems are available everywhere and receive the acclaim they deserve. The present anthology is a modernized version of the original 1846 collection. It is part of a series from the publisher translating classic poetic works into present-day prose to improve their readability and understandability.

The story both of the real world of the Brontës at Haworth Parsonage, their home on the edge of the lonely Yorkshire moors, and of the imaginary worlds they spun for themselves in their novels and poetry. Wherever possible, their story is told using their own words – the letters they wrote to each other, Emily and Anne's secret diaries, and Charlotte's exchanges with luminaries of literary England – or those closest to them, such as their brother Branwell, their father Patrick Brontë, and their novelist friend Mrs Gaskell. The Brontës sketched and painted their worlds too, in delicate ink washes and watercolours of family and friends, animals and the English moors. These pictures illuminate the text as do the tiny drawings the Brontë children made to illustrate their imaginary worlds. In addition, there are facsimiles of their letters and diaries, paintings by artists of the day, and pictures of household life. This beautifully illustrated book offers a unique and privileged view of the real lives of three women, writers and sisters.

The present study aims at examining the portrayal of women in Charlotte Bronte's Shirley. The study is divided into four chapters in addition to a conclusion. Chapter One: casts light on Charlotte Bronte as one of the most prominent female novelists in the nineteenth century. It also traces Charlotte Bronte as a subjective novelist who is concerned to convey a subjective impression. Chapter Two: provides a historical and critical background of her age in which she matured and originated the main literary tendencies which affected and swayed her and decided the expression and manner of her writings. Chapter Three: traces Charlotte Bronte's Contribution, Reputation and Influence. Moreover, Charlotte Bronte's writing is a powerful agent in her effect. Chapter Four : is devoted to the portrayal of women in Charlotte Bronte's Shirley, in which Charlotte Bronte sets up moral, spiritual and social problems such as the position of women, but evades a solution to the complications by dropping the problem and substituting the conventional solution of marriage.

What was the nature of the Brontes' strange genius? Where did it spring from and what inspired it? Patrick Bronte, father of the Bronte sisters, came from Ireland, changing his name from Brunty to Bronte when he won a scholarship to Cambridge. His children never met their Irish relatives and Patrick was deliberately vague about his origins: because of this little has been known about the family's story is every bit as strange and romantic as those penned by the sisters in their classic novels.

By the age of eight, Charlotte Brontë had lost first her mother and then her two older sisters. Later, in a second wave of deaths, her brother and two younger sisters died, leaving her a sole survivor. With subtlety and imagination, Robert Keefe examines Brontë’s works as the creative response to these losses, particularly the loss of her mother. Terrified and yet fascinated by death, struggling with guilt, remorse, and a deep sense of rejection, Charlotte Brontë found in art a way to come to terms with death through its symbolic reenactment. In her earlier writings she created a fictional world marked by devices that allow her to control or deny death. In her later works these mechanisms evolved into mature expressions of a profound psychological reality. Brontë’s preoccupation with death is seen in her fiction in the recurring patterns of separation and exile. Keefe traces the development of these motifs in the juvenilia and the four novels: The Professor, Jane Eyre, Shirley, and Villette. Unique in its emphasis on the maternal relationships in Brontë’s life and art, this study also explores certain aspects of her life that have often puzzled biographers.
