  • Jane Eyre As Bildungsroman Michael Giffin 19
    The Brontë Th(under)er VOL 10, 2013 Contents Papers from the talks to the 2013 ABA meetings The Cowan Bridge Controversy Christopher Cooper 1 Jane Eyre as Bildungsroman Michael Giffin 19 Frost in her Heart: Charlotte Brontë, Villette & Melancholia Anne Collett 34 Was Heathcliff Black? Robert Dingley 54 Saving St John Rowan McAuley 71 0 The Cowan Bridge Controversy by CHRISTOPHER COOPER and OTHERS Talk given at the ABA meeting on 2 February 2013 One of the great debates in the world of literary theory is whether it is relevant to know about an author’s life in studying his or her writing or whether the text should stand on its own. At one extreme there are those who emphasise the creativity of the author and argue that a work should only be studied from within. At the other end of the spectrum there are those who maintain that every literary work is to some extent an autobiography. Like the nature/nurture debate in child psychology the answer lies somewhere in the middle. There’s no such thing as pure originality. Every author draws upon their own experiences as the raw materials of their work, but then creates from it something new. These experiences may come from the life of the writer or they may come from stories that they have read or heard. It’s hard to imagine Emily Brontë having many direct experiences along the lines of those in Wuthering Heights. In her case her originality grew out of stories she had read and, perhaps more importantly, heard from the servants.

Westlake Message From the President of the Board Dear Friends and Colleagues: Legal Aid Society provides a helping hand to those who need it most – low-income citizens who cannot afford professional legal help and have nowhere to turn. When they receive the help they need, when they learn that there is justice out there for everyone, then the entire community benefits. America was founded on the ideal that everyone should be treated equally under the law. And while it is still possible to find examples of justice best serving those who can afford to pay for it, Legal Aid proves that the ideals which are fundamental to a fair and just society do, indeed, exist in our nation today.

  • Brontë Myths Christopher Cooper
    BRONTË MYTHS Christopher Cooper This article is based on a talk given by Dr Cooper to members of the public, rather than to ABA members. It not only compares Brontë myths to reality, but gives a representative example of early writings from Charlotte, Emily, Anne and Branwell. In 2016 we’ll celebrate the bicentenary of Charlotte Brontë’s birth, and this year is the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens commemo- rated by special events in England, and in Australia. The Brontës are almost as famous as Shakespeare, Dickens or Jane Austen, but one fact makes them stand out from all the others. While Shakespeare, Dickens and Jane Austen moved around and lived in different parts of England, the Brontë sisters lived their whole lives in one house, the Brontë Parson- age in Haworth. This has, for some The Haworth Parsonage time, been a museum and it attracts more visitors annually than any other literary home in Britain apart from Shakespeare’s house in Stratford-upon-Avon. Also, there was much trag- edy in the lives of the Brontës which also adds to their mystique. Why Brontë Myths? Because much of what people think they know about the Brontës is quite inaccurate. The myths follow, and we will examine each of them. The Brontës were an old Yorkshire family. Patrick Brontë had three daughters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, as well as a son Branwell. They were born in Haworth which was an isolated village on the moors. The three sisters were spinsters and they lived sheltered lives, rarely moving far from Haworth.

  • Ii Introduction: Picturing Charlotte Brontë
    1 Ii Introduction: picturing Charlotte Brontë Amber K. Regis and Deborah Wynne In response to the centenary of Charlotte Brontë’s birth in 1916, the Brontë Society commissioned a volume of essays entitled Charlotte Brontë, 1816– 1916: A Centenary Memorial (1917), with contributions by some well- known literary fi gures, including G. K. Chesterton and Edmund Gosse. It opened with a foreword by the then president of the Brontë Society, Mrs Humphry Ward, in which she explained that the book set out to off er ‘fresh impressions and the fi rst- hand research of competent writers who have spoken their minds with love and courage’ (Ward, 1917 : 5). One hundred years later, the current volume of essays, Charlotte Brontë: Legacies and Afterlives , also strives to off er ‘fresh impressions’ based on the ‘fi rst- hand research’ of ‘competent writers’; equally, most of the contributors can claim that a love of Brontë’s work motivated this project. However, while the contributors to the 1917 volume considered courage to be required to assert Charlotte Brontë’s importance, the writers in this book show no inclination to defend her reputation or argue for the signifi cance of her work. Her ‘genius’, a term emphasised repeatedly, often anxiously, in the 1917 collection, can now be taken for granted, and for that comfortable assumption we have generations of feminist scholars to thank. Th e current volume instead charts the vast cultural impact of Charlotte Brontë since the appearance of her fi rst published work, Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell (1846), highlighting the richness and diversity of the author’s legacy, her afterlife and the continuation of her plots and characters in new forms.

    Press Contacts Michelle Perlin 212.590.0311, [email protected] f Patrick Milliman 212.590.0310, [email protected] CHARLOTTE BRONTË’S LIFE AND WRITINGS SHOWCASED IN MAJOR NEW EXHIBITION AT THE MORGAN ORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE BRONTË PARSONAGE MUSEUM AND THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY, LONDON Charlotte Brontë: An Independent Will September 9, 2016 through January 2, 2017 New York, NY, August 17, 2016 — From the time Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre was first published in 1847, readers have been drawn to the orphan protagonist who declared herself “a free human being with an independent will.” Like her famous fictional creation, Brontë herself took bold steps throughout her life to pursue personal and professional fulfillment. Charlotte Brontë: An Independent Will, a new exhibition opening at the Morgan Library & Museum on September 9, traces the writer’s life from imaginative teenager to reluctant governess to published poet and masterful novelist. The exhibition celebrates the two-hundredth anniversary of Brontë’s birth in 1816, and marks an historic collaboration between the Morgan, which George Richmond (1809–1896), Charlotte Brontë, chalk, 1850. © National Portrait Gallery, London. holds one of the world’s most important collections of Brontë manuscripts and letters, and the Brontë Parsonage Museum, in Haworth, England, which will lend a variety of key items including the author’s earliest surviving miniature manuscript, her portable writing desk and paintbox, and a blue floral dress she wore in the 1850s. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a portion of the original manuscript of Jane Eyre, on loan from the British Library and being shown in the U.S.

  • Charlotte Bronte
    English novelist and poet, the eldest of the Brontë sisters, she wrote Jane Eyre (1847) under the pen name of Currer Bell: she was persuaded to reveal her identity by her publisher once the novel enjoyed huge, unexpected success sparking a movement in regards to feminism in literature. SECTION SUMMARY 2 CHARLOTTE BRONTË 1816: born in Thornton, Yorkshire, she was the third of six children. Her father was an Irish Anglican clergyman, vicar at St. Peter’ s Church at Harts- head. She would eventually base her novel Shirley on the area. 1820: the family moved a few miles to Haworth in the care of Elizabeth Branwell, their aunt, after Mrs. Brontë’s death(1821). 1824: Charlotte was sent to the Clergy Daughters’ School. Its poor conditions permanently affected her health and physical development and hastened the deaths of her two elder sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, who died of tuberculosis in June 1825. Their father removed both Charlotte and Emily from the school . 4 CHARLOTTE BRONTË At home she and the other surviving children (Branwell, talented but weak; Emily, who would become famous for Wuthering Heights; Anne, author of the novel Agnes Grey) began writing elaborate sagas on the inhabitants of their imaginary kingdoms. 1831-32: Charlotte continued her education at Roe Head, returning there as a teacher in 1835. 1839-41: she took up the first of many positions as governess to various families in Yorkshire but the sisters planned to open a school together, which their aunt agreed to finance. 1842: Charlotte and Emily went to Brussels as pupils to improve their qualifications in French and acquire some German.
