【正文】 1837, Anne became seriously ill with gastritis and underwent a religious crisis. A Moravian minister was called to see her several times during her illness, suggesting her distress was caused, in part, by conflict with the local Anglican clergy. Charlotte wrote to her father who took Anne home where she remained while she recovered. A book of poems The Bront235。 sisters, painted by their brother, Branwell, c. 1834. From left to right: Anne, Emily and Charlotte (there still remains a shadow of Branwell, which appeared after he painted himself out). In summer 1845, all the Bront235。s were at home with their father. None had any immediate prospect of employment. At this time Charlotte came across Emily39。s poems which had been shared only with Anne, her partner in the world of Gondal. Charlotte proposed that they be published. Anne revealed her own poems. Charlotte39。s reaction was characteristically patronising: I thought that these verses too had a sweet sincere pathos of their own. Eventually the sisters reached an agreement. They told neither Branwell, nor their father, nor their friends about what they were doing. Anne and Emily contributed 21 poems and Charlotte 19. With Aunt Branwell39。s money, the sisters paid to have the collection published Afraid their work would be judged differently if they revealed they were women, the book appeared under three pseudonyms—or pennames, the initials of which were the same as their own.[57] Charlotte became Currer Bell, Emily, Ellis Bell and Anne, Acton Bell. Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell was available for sale in May 1846. The cost of publication was about threequarters of Anne39。s salary at Thorp Green. On 7 May 1846, the first three copies of the book 本科英語(yǔ)畢業(yè)論文 14 were delivered to Haworth Parsonage. It achieved three somewhat favourable reviews, but was a dismal failure, with only two copies being sold in the first year. Anne, however, began to find a market for her more recent poetry. Both the Leeds Intelligencer and Fraser39。s Magazine published her poem The Narrow Way under her pseudonym, Acton Bell. Four months earlier, in August, Fraser39。s Magazine had published her poem The Three Guides. Death Anne Bronte39。s grave at Scarborough In February 1849, Anne seemed somewhat better. She decided to make a return visit to Scarborough in the hope that the change of location and fresh sea air might initiate a recoveryOn 24 May 1849, Anne said her goodbyes to her father and the servants at Haworth, and set off for Scarborough with Charlotte and Ellen Nussey. En route, they spent a day and a night in York, where, escorting Anne around in a wheelchair, they did some shopping, and at Anne39。s request, visited York Minster. However, it was clear that Anne had little strength left. On Sunday, 27 May, Anne asked Charlotte whether it would be easier if she returned home to die instead of remaining at Scarborough. A doctor, consulted the next day, indicated that death was close. Anne received the news quietly. She expressed her love and concern for Ellen and Charlotte, and seeing Charlotte39。s distress, whispered to her to take courage.Conscious and calm, Anne died at about two o39。clock in the afternoon, Monday, 28 May 1849. Over the following days, Charlotte made the decision to lay the flower where it had fallen. Anne was buried, not in Haworth with the rest of her family, but in Scarborough. The funeral was held on Wednesday, 30 May, which did not allow time for Patrick Bront235。 to make the 70mile (110 km) journey, had he wished to do so. The former schoolmistress at Roe Head, Miss Wooler, was in Scarborough and she was the only other mourner at Anne39。s funeral. She was buried in St. Mary39。s churchyard, beneath the castle walls, overlooking the bay. Charlotte missioned a stone to be placed over her grave, with the simple inscription Here lie the remains of Anne Bront235。, daughter of the Revd. P. Bronte, Incumbent of Haworth, Yorkshire. She died, Aged 28, 28 May 1849. Anne was 29 at the time of her death. 本科英語(yǔ)畢業(yè)論文 15 Chapter 2 . main works of Bronte Sisters Jane Eyre Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Bront235。. It was published in London, England, in 1847 by Smith, Elder amp。 Co. with the title Jane Eyre. An Autobiography under the pen name Currer Bell. The first American edition was released the following year by Harper amp。 Brothers of New York. Writing for the Penguin edition, Stevie Davies describes it as an influential feminist text because of its indepth exploration of a strong female character39。s feelings. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic[1] master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is noheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel39。s exploration of sexuality, religion, and protofeminism. Jane Eyre is a firstperson narrative of the title character. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane39。s childhood at Gateshead, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins。 her education at Lowood School, 圖 2 1 圖 2 2 aiduimagedetailamp。word=Jane%20Eyreamp。in=20933amp。cl=2amp。lm=1amp。st=1amp。pn=10amp。rn=1amp。di=390295690200amp。ln=1989amp。fr=amp。fm=detailamp。fmq=1346851803866_Ramp。ic=0amp。s=amp。se=1amp。sme=0amp。tab=amp。width=amp。height=amp。face=0amp。is=amp。istype=2pn10amp。1amp。di390295690200amp。objURL%3A%2F%%2Fpi%2Fd%2F2021%2F33%2F2021813amp。fromURL%3A%2F%2Fm%2Fbbs%%amp。W500amp。H742amp。T7163amp。S140amp。TPjpg 本科英語(yǔ)畢業(yè)論文 16 where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations and oppression。 her time as the governess of Thornfield Hall, where she f
