  • Kildwick and the Brontës – True Or False ? by Graham Taylor
    Kildwick and the Brontës – True or False ? by Graham Taylor Introduction It never takes very long. I mention to someone who knows the area that I’m a member of the Farnhill and Kildwick Local History Group and sooner or later I’ll be told “… of course Kildwick Hall is the real Wuthering Heights” or “… Charlotte Brontë attended Kildwick church”; I’ve even heard tell that “Charlotte’s ghost haunts the White Lion” ! There are so many connections, or supposed connections, between Kildwick and the Brontë family. The aim of this piece is to consider some of these and to discuss to what extent they might be fact or fiction. True or False ? 1. Charlotte Brontës took her nom-de-plume from the Currer family of Kildwick Hall Almost certainly true. The Brontë sisters used nom-de-plumes to disguise their identities as women. They took the surname Bell and chose gender-neutral forenames which meant that, in the culture of the times, it would naturally be assumed that they were men. They selected forenames that retained the initial letters of their own: Acton (Anne), Ellis (Emily) and Currer (Charlotte), but how these names came to be chosen is not known for certain. In the case of Acton/Anne it has been suggested that the nom-de-plume refers to Eliza Acton, the poet1. It is generally agreed that Charlotte’s “Currer” was derived from the family who owned Kildwick Hall. However, it’s not clear which member of the family inspired the choice. There are two possible candidates: Haworth Currer (1690 - 1744) This member of the family was suggested by J.

  • The Non-Specificity of Location
    THE NON-SPECIFICITY OF LOCATION IN EMILY BRONTЁ‟S WUTHERING HEIGHTS BRIAN P. VOROSELO Bachelor of Arts in English Denison University May, 1997 submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH at the CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2010 This thesis has been approved for the Department of ENGLISH and the College of Graduate Studies by ________________________________________________Date______________ Dr. Gary Dyer, Department of English Thesis Committee Chairperson ________________________________________________Date______________ Dr. Rachel Carnell, Department of English Thesis Committee Member ________________________________________________Date______________ Dr. Jennifer Jeffers, Department of English Thesis Committee Member THE NON-SPECIFICITY OF LOCATION IN EMILY BRONTЁ‟S WUTHERING HEIGHTS BRIAN P. VOROSELO ABSTRACT Emily Brontë's sole novel, Wuthering Heights, is unusual among nineteenth- century works due to the non-specificity of its locations. While many of her contemporaries were very specific in the use of their settings, using real place names and locations that paralleled real-life locations of the time very closely, Brontë uses details of place that make it impossible to draw one-to-one correspondence between her settings and real-life locales, and includes details that serve to remind the reader that the places in which her story takes place, and thus the story itself, are unreal. She does this in order to exert total narrative control over her universe. This enables Brontë as an author to force her readers to confront the issue of power, since the reader must engage Brontë's narrative universe on the author‟s terms. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ……………………………………………………………………. iii CHAPTER I.
