THE POETRY OF THE BRONTES: A MODERNIZED ANTHOLOGY
Mayelana nale ebook
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.
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.

Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë were three sisters who were prominent English novelists and poets in the 19th century. Charlotte was the eldest of the sisters and is perhaps the most famous. She is best known for her novel "Jane Eyre," published in 1847.
Emily Brontë (1818-1848) is best known for her novel "Wuthering Heights." She also wrote poetry, some of which was included in the collection "Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell," which the Brontë sisters published together.
Anne Brontë (1820-1849) is best known for her novel "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall". She was the youngest of the famous Brontë sisters. Anne's works, while perhaps less well-known than her sisters', have made a significant contribution to English literature.
