The Bronte Sisters. Jane Erye - Villettte - The Professor - Wuthering Heights - Agnes Grey - The Tenant of Wildfield Hall

Opis książki:

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most popular works of English fiction. Charlotte Brontes heroine is plain, but she possesses courage and indomitable spirit, overcoming a rigid social order as the governess to the daughter of the mysterious Mr Rochester.

Villette is based on Cgarlotte Brontes experience as a teacher in Brussels. It is a moving tale of repressed feelings and cruel circumstances borne with fortitude. It is also a story of a womans right to love and be loved.

The Professor is Charlotte Brontes story of love and doubt, as her hero, William Crimsworth, seeks his fortune as a teacher in Brussels and finds his love for the good Anglo-Swiss girl, Frances Henri, severely tested by the sensuously beguilling and manipulative headmistress, Zoraide Reuter.

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontes wild, passionate tale of the intense, almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherines father. After Mr Earnshaws death, Heathcliff is humiliated by Catherines brother Hindley and, wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, he leaves Wuthering Heights. When he returns years later as a wealthy and polished man, he proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries.

Agnes Grey, Anne Brontes deeply personal novel, is a trenchant expose of the frequently isolated, intelectually stagnant and emotionally starved conditions under which many governesses worked in the mid-nineteenth century.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall shows Anne Brontes bold, naturalistic and passionate style. It is a powerful and sometimes violent novel portraying the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious tenant of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband.
