Hazel eyes, you persist in being hazel and I can't blame you for it; but don't retreat under my eyebrows with that excessive modesty. Mouth, you're still my mouth, but so pale that I can't resist rubbing those short, colorless lips with petals pulled from the red geranium in the window. (Incidentally it only gives them a horrid, purplish tinge that I promptly lick off.) As to you, my poor little white, anaemic ears, I hide you under my curly hair and secretly look at you from time to time and pinch you to make you redden. But it's my hair that's the worst of all. I can't touch it without wanting to cry ... they've cut them all off, just below the ear—my auburn ringlets, my lovely, smoothly-rolled ringlets! 

Today's poem grew out of an elaborate game of make-believe between the Brontë siblings, and gives some idea of the mature verse that might have been if Anne had not died young. Happy(?) reading.Anne Brontë (17 January 1820 – 28 May 1849) was an English novelist and poet, the youngest member of the Brontë literary family.Anne Brontë was the daughter of Maria (néeBranwell) and Patrick Brontë, a poor Irish clergyman in the Church of England. Anne lived most of her life with her family at the parish of Haworth on the Yorkshire Dales. Otherwise, she attended a boarding school in Mirfield between 1836 and 1837, and between 1839 and 1845 lived elsewhere working as a governess. In 1846, she published a book of poems with her sisters and later two novels, initially under the pen name Acton Bell. Her first novel, Agnes Grey, was published in 1847 at the same time as Wuthering Heights by her sister Emily Brontë. Anne's second novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, was published in 1848. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is often considered one of the first feminist novels.Anne died at 29, most likely of pulmonary tuberculosis. After her death, her sister Charlotte edited Agnes Grey to fix issues with its first edition, but prevented republication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. As a result, Anne is not as well known as her sisters. Nonetheless, both of her novels are considered classics of English literature.-bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

On The Literary Life Podcast this week, Angelina and Thomas wrap up their series on Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey. In this final episode on this beautiful Victorian novel, our hosts begin with their commonplace quotes which lead into the book discussion and the Victorian ideas about the supernatural. They talk about the major plot points here at the end of this book, contrasting the way Jane Austen dealt with these sorts of stories in contrast with Anne Brontë's treatment of Agnes Grey. Some highlights of the conversation include thoughts on the world of education, the rebirth and reversal scene, and the question of how this story rates in terms of art versus didacticism.

Commonplace Quotes: Praise is a cripple; blame has wings to fly. La louange est sans pieds et le blame a des ailes. Victor Hugo The idea of the supernatural was perhaps at as low an ebb as it had ever been–certainly much lower than it is now. But in spite of this, and in spite of a certain ethical cheeriness that was almost de rigueur–the strange fact remains that the only sort of supernaturalism the Victorians allowed to their imaginations was a sad supernaturalism. They might have ghost stories, but not saints' stories. They could triple with the curse or unpardoning prophecy of a witch, but not with the pardon of a priest. They seem to have held (I believe erroneously) that the supernatural was safest when it came from below. When we think (for example) of the uncountable riches of religious art, imagery, ritual and popular legend that has clustered round Christmas through all the Christian ages, it is a truly extraordinary thing to reflect that Dickens (wishing to have in The Christmas Carol a little happy supernaturalism by way of a change) actually had to make up a mythology for himself.

Welcome back to The Literary Life Podcast and the continuation of our series on Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey. Angelina and Thomas open with their commonplace quotes which lead into the book discussion. Angelina kicks it off with a comparison between the work of the Brontës and Jane Austen's writing which will continue throughout the conversation. Thomas and Angelina also look at the expectations of Victorians for courtship and marriage, the ways Anne Brontë weaves this tale as a variation on other themes, the true woman versus the false woman, and more!

Commonplace Quotes: The ideal of education is that we should learn all that it concerns us to know, in order that thereby we may become all that it concerns us to be. In other words, the aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values. Values are facts apprehended in their relation to each other, and to ourselves. The wise man is he who knows the relative value of things. William Ralph Inge, from The Church in the World But while Emily Brontë was as unsociable as a storm at midnight, and while Charlotte Brontë was at best like that warmer and more domestic thing, a house on fire–they do connect themselves with the calm of George Eliot, as the forerunners of many later developments of the feminine advance. Many forerunners (if it comes to that) would have felt rather ill if they had seen the things they foreman. This notion of a hazy anticipation of after history has been absurdly overdone: as when men connect Chaucer with the Reformation; which is like connecting Homer with the Syracusan Expedition. But it is to some extent true that all these great Victorian women had a sort of unrest in their souls. And the proof of it is that… it began to be admitted by the great Victorian men. G. K. Chesterton, The Victorian Age in Literature The Recommendation By Richard Crashaw These houres, and that which hovers o're my End, Into thy hands, and hart, lord, I commend. Take Both to Thine Account, that I and mine In that Hour, and in these, may be all thine. That as I dedicate my devoutest Breath To make a kind of Life for my lord's Death, So from his living, and life-giving Death, My dying Life may draw a new, and never fleeting Breath.

On this week's episode of The Literary Life Podcast, Angelina and Thomas continue their series of discussions on Anne Brontë's novel Agnes Grey. They open the conversation about this novel with some thoughts on the differences between Agnes Grey and Jane Eyre and Anne and Charlotte Brontë. Angelina poses the question as to whether this novel crosses the line into didacticism or if it stays within the purpose of the story and the art. In discussing the education of Agnes' charges in these chapters, Angelina has a chance to expand upon the upbringing of Victorian young women. She and Thomas discuss the position of the curate and Agnes' spiritual seriousness, as well as the characters of Weston and Hatfield as foils for each other. Thomas closes out the conversation with a question as to whether Agnes Grey is as memorable a character as Jane Eyre or Catherine Earnshaw and why that is.

Commonplace Quotes: In wit, as nature, what affects our hearts/ Is not the exactness of peculiar parts;/ ‘Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call,/ But the joint force and full result of all. Alexander Pope, from “An Essay on Criticism” In any case, it is Charlotte Brontë who enters Victorian literature. The shortest way of stating her strong contribution is, I think, this: that she reached the highest romance through the lowest realism. She did not set out with Amadis of Gaul in a forest or with Mr. Pickwick in a comic club. She set out with herself, with her own dingy clothes and accidental ugliness, and flat, coarse, provincial household; and forcibly fused all such muddy materials into a spirited fairy-tale. G. K. Chesterton, The Victorian Age in Literature My Heart Leaps Up By William Wordsworth My heart leaps up when I beholdA Rainbow in the sky:So was it when my life began;So is it now I am a man;So be it when I shall grow old,Or let me die!The Child is father of the man;And I wish my days to beBound each to each by natural piety.

Today on The Literary Life Podcast, Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks begin a new book discussion series covering Anne Brontë's Victorian novel Agnes Grey. This week they are giving an introduction to the social and literary climate in which Anne was writing, as well as discussing chapters 1-5 of the book. Thomas shares a little information on Utilitarianism, and Angelina talks about how this affected the literature of the Victorian period. She also points out that the Brontës were writing in the medieval literary tradition rather than the didactic or realistic style, and as such we should look for symbols and metaphors in their journey of the soul. Thomas and Angelina explore the background of the Brontë sisters, discuss the position of the governess in this time period, and compare Agnes Grey to other governess novels. Diving into the first five chapters of this book, Angelina and Thomas look at the life of young Agnes Grey and at her family. In treating the characters in the early chapters, they talk about Agnes Grey's first forays into the life of the governess, the horrid children in her care, their irresponsible parents, and more. Check out the schedule for the podcast's summer episodes on our Upcoming Events page. If you haven't heard about Cindy Rollins' upcoming Summer Discipleship series, you can learn more about that over at MorningTimeforMoms.com. In June Mr. Banks will be teaching a 5-day class on St. Augustine, and in July Dr. Jason Baxter will be teaching a class on Dostoevsky.

Commonplace Quotes: Truth is the trial of itself,/ And needs no other touch. Ben Jonson The previous literary life of this country had left vigorous many old forces in the Victorian time, as in our time. Roman Britain and Mediæval England are still not only alive but lively; for real development is not leaving things behind, as on a road, but drawing life from them, as from a root. Even when we improve we never progress. For progress, the metaphor from the road, implies a man leaving his home behind him: but improvement means a man exalting the towers or extending the gardens of his home. G. K. Chesterton, The Victorian Age in Literature Ganymede By W. H. Auden He looked in all His wisdom from the throneDown on that humble boy who kept the sheep,And sent a dove; the dove returned alone:Youth liked the music, but soon fell asleep. But He had planned such future for the youth:Surely, His duty now was to compel.For later he would come to love the truth,And own his gratitude. His eagle fell. It did not work. His conversation boredThe boy who yawned and whistled and made faces,And wriggled free from fatherly embraces; But with the eagle he was always willingTo go where it suggested, and adoredAnd learnt from it so many ways of killing.

Emily Brontë gav ut sin debutroman 1847, den gotiska och romantiska "Svindlande höjder. Lina Kalmteg om den stormande kärleken mellan Catherine och Heathcliff på heden. Den har blivit film otaliga gånger, första gången redan 1920, och en superhit med Kate Bush i slutet av sjuttiotalet. "Svindlande höjder" fortsätter att ses som en av de största kärleksromanerna, även om det också har ifrågasatts om det är kärlek det handlar om, relationen mellan Heathcliff och Catherine.Samma år, 1847, kom även systrarna Anne och Charlotte Brontës debutromaner "Agnes Grey" och "Jane Eyre". Till skillnad från "Jane Eyre" mottogs "Svindlande höjder" med motstånd, kritikerna såg visserligen det nyskapande i romanen, men många var chockade och förskräckta.I amerikanska "Graham's Lady Magazine" beskrev man boken som en "blandning av vulgärt fördärv och onaturliga fasor" och tyckte att det var ett mysterium hur en människa som försökte sig på en sådan bok inte begick självmord efter bara några kapitel.Emily Brontë fick själv aldrig veta vilken succé hennes enda roman senare ändå blev. Hon dog av tuberkulos, 30 år gammal, 1848, ett år efter att boken gavs ut.Uppläsning av Håkan Engström och Emelie Rosenqvist ur "Svindlande höjder" i översättning av Birgit Edlund.

The first part of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure (Phantom Blood) is best described as Dracula starring Jean Claude Van Damme with costume design by Jean Paul Gaultier, and you know something? It is a good read! Blending Shonen anime spectacle with the influence of classical literature. We see if the manga has stood the test of time since its 80's debut. Skip synopsis @ 6:32 Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   103: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure vol. 1 Chapters 1 to 8, ‘Prologue' and ‘The Stone Mask part 1' By Hirohiko Araki Translation by Evan Galloway Lettering by Mark Mcmurray   Phantom Blood is the first part of the epic Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and tells the tale of two young men, Johnathan “Jojo” Joestar and Dio Brando. It starts in south America during the reign of the Aztecs, where a king has used a magical death mask like object to gain supernatural power, then we are taken to the 80's, the 1880's to be precise. where Dio arrives at the home of the Joestars after the death of his father, Dario.   Jojo's father, George Joestar, becomes Godfather to Dio and so they welcome the young man under their roof, all whilst Dio plans to rob Jojo of his status and make him suffer. Dio does this whilst maintaining the guise of a step brother but when he discovers Jojo has a girlfriend, he torments him further by forcing a kiss on the poor girl. Dio sadistically claiming, “You wanted Jojo to be your first kiss, but it was I, Dio”.   So, Jojo attempts to kick his ass and in doing so spills blood on the mask that hangs in their home. That same magical mask used by the Aztecs now activated by the touch of blood and designed to penetrate the wearer's brain upon doing so.   Years pass by but Dio takes it further when Jojo infers that Dio had poisoned his father, Dario Brando and has been doing the same to George Joestar.   Jojo sets up new care for his father and sets out on a journey to discover the origin of the poison and get evidence, or at least a cure for his father. Meanwhile Dio investigates the mask to use as a potential murder weapon against Jojo only to discover that it can turn its wearer into a vampire.   As Dio returns to the Joestar residence he is ambushed by Jojo who has gained new allies on his journey, meanwhile Dio, with mask in hand, has a plan.     ·       The theme of Jojo is one of becoming a “peon to humanity”, Jojo aspires to become a true gentleman. Meanwhile Dio himself aspires for greatness albeit through horrific ways, and at the cost of his own humanity.   ·       Phantom Blood was first published on January 1987 in Shuesha's weekly Shonen.  Alongside the original run of Dragonball (not Z), Ultimate Muscle and Saint Seiya. Like Saint Seiya, Phantom Blood is a very fashion-conscious manga, as we'll see in later episodes. This was to appeal to the readers at the time.   ·       At the time the manga was published Arnold Schwarzenneger, Slyvester Stallone and Jean Claude Van Damme were dominating Hollywood. Their action movies were a response to feminism at the time, with men being celebrated for their physical strength and stamina. So naturally Araki has his hero be the same way, which makes more sense knowing that Jojo needs to be exaggerated physically in order to fight the supernaturally powerfully Dio.   ·       Physically masculine heroes aren't an action movie ideal either, Jojo takes more influence from ancient styles of stories, where mythological characters show further supernatural feats of masculinity, such as the greek Demi-god Hercules, the Olympics itself being a demonstration of competitive power and indiviualism.     ·       One of the manga's most iconic scenes is Dio's “kick the dog” moment. A now popular trope for villains, the oldest examples being seen in Anne Brontë's novel, ‘Agnes Grey ‘(1847) where upon Mr. Hatfield kicks not just a dog but also a cat, Anne's sister, Emily went one step further by having Heathcliff hang a puppy in Wuthering Heights, which was published within that same month and year. In Stephen King's novel, ‘The Dead Zone' (1979), the villain of that story also kicks a dog. It is important to note that the trope isn't about kicking dogs but instead is a shorthand way to tell the audience immediately that a character is despicable.   Other references:   ·       The manga opens during the reign of the Aztec Empire, the empire itself was taken over by Spanish conquistadors and their allies in 1521. The Aztecs, also known as the ancient Mexica were the ancestors of the Nahua people of Mexico.   ·       A nod to Charles Darwin is mentioned, Jojo having a passion for archeology compares his studies to Darwin's and wishes to make breakthroughs like himself. Darwin himself changed academia with his ‘Origin of Species' published in 1859. Although incredibly abstract for its time, Darwin's theories still have a lot of credit to them in contemporary times. The phrase “survival of the fittest” is sometimes mistaken as Darwin's words but comes from Herbert Spencer, responding to Darwin. For Jojo to speak of Darwin, is no different than millennials speaking of Carl Sagan or Jordan Peterson, of which the latter's academic legacy has arguably not reached apotheosis as of writing this article. But who knows what the future will bring?   ·       Dario Brando actions resemble that of the character Thénardier in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, they both inadvertently save a man whilst trying to rob them.   ·       Speedwagon looks suspiciously like Australian actor and film director Mel Gibson, especially in his mullet wearing Lethal Weapon days.   ·       The mysterious mask in Phantom Blood resembles the mask seen in the Italian horror movie ‘Demons' (1985), that mask has the power to turn someone into a ghoulish demon. Although it may be coincidence, it could also have been a possible inspiration for Araki.   Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

-- By Anne Brontë -- Anne Brontë was born January 17, 1820 to Maria Branwell and Patrick Brontë. The youngest member of the Brontë family, Anne and her sisters Charlotte and Emily all achieved great literary success in both novels and poetry during their lifetimes. Anne Brontë is most well known for her novel: Wuthering Heights. The book was her second publication and released in December 1847, the same month as her first novel Agnes Grey. Anne used a number of pseudonyms in publication including Acton Bell and Ellis Bell. Tragically, none of the 6 Brontë children made it past the age of 38. The father Patrick Brontë outlived all his children and died in June 1777. Although their time on Earth was short the children of Patrick Brontë have had an impact on Literature that continues for centuries. Anne Brontë's grave can be visited at the churchyard of St. Mary's Church in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/patrick-fennell6/support

Anne Brontë (1820-1849) es la menor de las hermanas Brontë. Entre 1839 y 1845 fue institutriz y de su experiencia surgió su primera novela, 'Agnes Grey', publicada en 1847. Un años después, apareció la segunda y última novela de Anne, 'La inquilina de Wildfell Hall'.

Show Notes In this episode, we interview Professor Robin Inboden, who edited the recent Broadview edition of _Agnes Grey_. Also check out Robin's book recommendation, Take Courage: Anne Brontë and the Art of Life.

Charlotte Brontë [ˈʃɑːlət ˈbɹɒnteɪ], née le 21 avril 1816 à Thornton (comté d'Adams) et morte le 31 mars 1855 à Haworth (comté de Bergen), est une romancière anglaise. Troisième fille du révérend Patrick Brontë, au sein d'une famille de condition modeste qui compte six enfants, elle bénéficie, comme ses quatre sœurs et son frère, de la présence d'un père qui a poussé ses études classiques jusqu'à l'université de Cambridge, et n'hésite pas à leur transmettre sa culture et sa vision du monde. Elle connaît cependant très tôt, alors qu'elle est encore tout enfant, le deuil de sa mère, puis de ses deux sœurs aînées, frappées par la tuberculose. Malgré sa condition de femme et son absence de moyens financiers, elle réussit à publier ses poèmes et ceux de ses sœurs (sous des noms masculins), en 1846, et surtout, à publier son œuvre principale Jane Eyre, devenu un grand classique de la littérature anglaise et mondiale, ayant également laissé une empreinte importante dans l'histoire culturelle en étant adapté au cinéma à plusieurs reprises. Elle naît à Thornton où son père, Patrick Brontë, est pasteur. Sa mère meurt d'un cancer de l'estomac le 15 septembre 18212. En 1824, pour assurer leur éducation, les quatre filles aînées sont envoyées à l'école de Cowan Bridge, établissement recevant les enfants des membres du clergé peu fortuné, qui avait été recommandé à M. Brontë. Dans cette école, pourtant de bonne réputation, les conditions de vie sont difficiles, sans chauffage, avec une maigre nourriture préparée sans aucune hygiène, et presque immangeable. L'année suivante, Maria et Elizabeth tombent gravement malades et en sont retirées, mais décèdent peu après à quelques semaines d'intervalle, le 6 mai et le 15 juin 18255 ; Charlotte et Emily, enlevées elles aussi à ce lieu malsain, retournent à Haworth. La perte de leurs deux sœurs sera pour les quatre enfants un traumatisme qui transparaît notamment dans l'œuvre de Charlotte, par exemple dans Jane Eyre où Cowan Bridge devient Lowood, la figure pathétique de Maria est représentée sous les traits de la jeune Helen Burns, la cruauté d'une maîtresse, Miss Andrews, sous ceux de Miss Scatcherd et la tyrannie du directeur, le Révérend Carus Wilson, sous ceux de l'odieux et suffisant M. Brocklehurst. Ellen Nussey, la grande amie de Charlotte, vers 1855, à l'époque de la mort de cette dernière. Charlotte se retrouve alors l'aînée des quatre enfants survivants. Les autres sont Branwell, Emily et Anne. Désormais, les enfants seront élevés par leur tante maternelle Elizabeth Branwell, figure un peu mystérieuse qui n'aura pas une grande influence sur Charlotte et Emily. Mais surtout, une véritable symbiose littéraire et familiale va se créer entre les enfants. En effet, stimulés par la lecture du Blackwood's Magazine que reçoit leur père, Charlotte et Branwell entament avec Emily et Anne une collaboration littéraire intense autour d'un pays imaginaire, la confédération de Glass Town, créant une quantité fabuleuse de récits, de pièces de théâtre, de journaux, de poèmes écrits en caractères minuscules. Ils peuplent ce monde d'une foule de personnages, tels que le comte de Northangerland (le cruel et perfide Alexander Rogue), ou le grand peintre Sir Edward de Lisle. C'est l'occasion pour les quatre enfants d'échanges d'idées et de connaissances intenses, et d'une stimulante rivalité intellectuelle. Puis Charlotte est envoyée une nouvelle fois en pension, en 1831, mais cette fois dans un établissement de qualité, chez Miss Wooler, où elle nouera deux amitiés durables, avec Ellen Nussey et Mary Taylor. L'entrée dans la vie professionnelle est difficile. Hantée par le besoin d'écrire, elle parvient à peine à remplir ses fonctions d'institutrice dans son ancien pensionnat, puis de gouvernante chez des particuliers. Des tentatives de contact avec d'autres écrivains, notamment Robert Southey qui lui déconseille l'écriture parce qu'elle est une femme, ne portent guère de fruits. Un jour, en 1845, Charlotte découvre par hasard des textes d'Emily. Éblouie par leur qualité, elle propose à ses sœurs de publier un volume collectif qui paraîtra sous le titre Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell (1846). Les trois sœurs se mettent alors à des romans. Ceux d'Anne et Emily, Agnes Grey et Les Hauts de Hurlevent (Wuthering Heights), sont acceptés par un éditeur, mais non le récit de Charlotte, The Professor. En revanche, son deuxième roman, Jane Eyre, publié en 1847 sous le pseudonyme de Currer Bell, fait sensation. Héritier de la tradition du roman gothique, ce récit à la première personne scandalise certains par l'affirmation de soi et la détermination de l'héroïne - on est en pleine époque victorienne - mais son style somptueux, à la fois passionné et parfaitement maîtrisé, en fera un immense best-seller. Elle entame alors un troisième roman, Shirley. Entre-temps, son frère Branwell est devenu alcoolique et opiomane, addictions qu'une déception amoureuse ne fait qu'aggraver, et meurt de tuberculose en septembre 1848. Emily décède aussi quelques semaines plus tard, en décembre de la même année, après avoir pris froid et refusé de se soigner. Moins rétive aux soins, Anne ne tardera pourtant pas à mourir de la même maladie en mai 1849. Commence alors une période de calvaire pour Charlotte. Elle termine tant bien que mal Shirley tout en luttant contre une dépression atroce. Ses horizons s'élargissent néanmoins à présent qu'elle n'est plus tenue de respecter l'anonymat qu'elle avait juré à Emily. Soutenue par son éditeur George Smith, elle fait la connaissance du Tout-Londres littéraire et noue de solides amitiés avec ses pairs, notamment sa future biographe Elizabeth Gaskell. Shirley a souffert des conditions dans lesquelles il a été écrit. Les deux héroïnes se transforment en portraits idéalisés des sœurs de Charlotte, et le récit ne cesse de vaciller entre le réalisme social et un romantisme aussi échevelé mais beaucoup moins convaincant que celui de Jane Eyre. Charlotte retrouve une veine plus conforme à son talent avec Villette, publié en 1853, fondé sur ses expériences bruxelloises et considéré par certains comme son chef-d'œuvre.

Drawing from her experience as a governess, Anne Brontë (the youngest of the Brontë sisters) wrote her first novel, Agnes Grey, at age 27, in which she conveys to her readers the all-importance of the golden rule - doing unto others as we would be done by.

"...Desde hace un par de siglos, los humanos hemos empezado a cuestionarnos por qué las sociedades diferenciaban de tal modo a hombres y mujeres en cuanto a jerarquía y funciones. Alguna hembra especialmente intrépida ya se había planteado esas preguntas antes, pero tuvieron que llegar el positivismo y la muerte definitiva de los dioses para que los habitantes del mundo occidental desdeñaran la inmutabilidad del orden natural y comenzaran a preguntarse masivamente el porqué de las cosas, curiosidad intelectual que por fuerza hubo de incluir, pese a la resistencia presentada por muchos y muchas, los numerosos interrogantes relativos a la condición de la mujer: distinta, distante, subyugada..." En el programa de hoy hablaremos de un libro fascinante, escrito, y muy bien, por cierto, por la periodista, novelista y articulista Rosa Montero. En palabras de su autora “no sé bien donde encuadrar estos trabajos: aunque están bien documentados, no son ni biografías académicas ni artículos periodísticos, sino unos textos muy apasionados, muy personales. Son historias de mujeres singulares a las que intenté entender. Las hay generosas y las hay malvadas, cobardes o valientes, turbulentas o tímidas; todas, eso sí, muy originales, y algunas resultan pasmosas por lo extraordinario de sus peripecias”. El libro narra la vida de dieciséis mujeres cuyas vidas, salvo alguna excepción, fueron trágicas en gran medida debido al fuerte rechazo de la sociedad en la que vivían, solo por el hecho de ser mujeres y pretender que su talento fuera reconocido. La obra comienza con la figura de Agatha Christie, la famosa escritora de novelas policíacas. Nació en 1.890 y pertenece, por tanto, a esa generación británica que hubo de superar la herencia victoriana y enfrentarse a las primeras ruinas del imperio y su visión del mundo “tan firme y definida como un cubo de plomo”. Mary Wollstonecraft, que en el siglo XVIII fue capaz de establecerse como escritora profesional e independiente en Londres (algo rarísimo para la época) y que publicó, en 1.792 el ensayo “Vindicación de los derechos de la mujer” donde estableció las bases del feminismo moderno y la convirtió en la mujer más famosa de Europa de su tiempo. Murió a los 38 años y su obra ha sido injustamente olvidada siendo solo recordada por haber sido la madre de Mary Shelley, la autora de “Frankenstein”. De Zenobia Camprubí (1.887 – 1.956), se puede decir que no solo fueron las circunstancias las que provocaron que no fuera una de las intelectuales que fueron influyentes en su tiempo; fue su esposo, Juan Ramón Jiménez. Este hombre confundió el amor con la necesidad patológica del otro y el parasitismo más feroz y destructivo, lo que hizo que la vida de esta mujer fuera un infierno y que anuló las perspectivas de una persona inteligente, generosa, activa, culta y con una clara vocación narrativa (fue la primera traductora de la obra del nobel bengalí Rabindrahah Tagore). Al contrario que en el caso de Zenobia Camprubí, Simone de Beauvoir consiguió, con grandes esfuerzos, convertirse en una figura que gravitó sobre generaciones de mujeres. Sin embargo su vida privada deja mucho que desear en cuanto a honestidad y su mezquindad, al igual que la de su marido, Jean Paul Sartre. La de Lady Ottoline Morrell es la historia de una mecenas de grandes artistas del primer cuarto del siglo XX ( Virginia Woolf, E.M. Foster, Maynard Keynes, D.H. Lawrence, Henry James, Aldous Huxley, Nijinsky, Robert Graves, Bernard Sahw, Graham Greene, Charles Chaplin etc.) que paso de la gloria mundana al triste final de una mujer despreciada y arruinada. El caso de Alma Mahler es el de una compositora que ya a los 21 años había escrito un centenar de obras y era una magnífica pianista y que fue totalmente eclipsada por la fama de su marido, el músico Gustav Mahler, que le doblaba su edad. ¿ Les suena ?. La historia de María Lejárraga es asombrosa. Fue la esposa de Gregorio Martínez Sierra, uno de los dramaturgos españoles más famosos del siglo XX. Hoy es un hecho comprobado que la verdadera autora de las obras firmadas por él, están escritas por ella. Sin embargo, ella es el silencio y él el afamado autor...todavía. El capítulo dedicado a la escritora y crítica literaria Laura Riding, Rosa Montero lo subtitula “La más malvada” y resulta apasionante como esta mujer cuya negra locura arrastró en su delirio a escritores, pintores, fotógrafos etc. , uno de ellos fue el gran Robert Graves, que fueron vampirizados por esta mujer, dejando a algunos de ellos en un estado de verdadero delirio del que pocos consiguieron recuperarse. La vida de George Sand fue más feliz, a pesar de algunos acontecimientos trágicos, que los de otras mujeres célebres, gracias a su poderosa personalidad. Por contra la existencia de Isabelle Eberhardt fue muy distinta. Cito textualmente el primer párrafo de Rosa Montero sobre su vida: “El 21 de Octubre de 1.904, una riada destruyó la mitad del pueblo argelino de Ain Safra. Cuando las aguas bajaron, los soldados de la guarnición francesa descubrieron, entre las ruinas de una pobre choza, dos piernas de mujer hincadas en el lodo. Pertenecían al cadáver de Isabelle Eberhardt, también llamada Mahmoud Saadi, también llamada Nicolás Podolinski, una escritora suiza de 27 años que se hacía pasar por un muchacho musulmán: hablaba y escribía árabe a la perfección, se había convertido al islamismo y pertenecía a una hermandad sufí “. Frida Kahlo. El Mundo es una cama. Así titula la autora la breve biografía de la pintora mexicana. Y es que en la existencia de la artista la cama es su refugio, potro de tortura y altar sagrado. La esposa del muralista Diego Rivera, que murió en 1.954 a los 47 años, sufrió un accidente a los 18 años. Un tranvía embistió el autobús donde ella viajaba; el pasamanos la había empalado y las lesiones fueron terribles y su agonía duró lo que duró su vida y sin embargo esta fue intensa y creativa. Aurora y Hildegart Rodríguez; “madre muerte”. La historia de estas dos mujeres es escalofriante: la madre, Aurora, mata a su hija Hijdegart en la madrugada del 9 de Junio de 1.933, de varios disparos mientras esta dormía. ¿el motivo?, Hildegart, que entonces tenía 18 años, quería emanciparse de su férrea y devoradora posesividad. La chica había sido educada por Aurora, madre soltera por propia decisión, para ser la adalid de los derechos de la mujer, “la primera mujer libre”. Hisdegart, que antes de los tres años hablaba y escribía correctamente; a los ocho dominaba cuatro idiomas y estaba versada en filosofía y temas de educación sexual. A los catorce años ya era famosa, llegando a ser una de las figuras destacadas del Partido Socialista publicando obras sobre política, sociología, educación sexual etc. y se da a conocer en toda Europa. Tal vez las balas que acabaron con la vida de Hildegart le trajeron la liberación de la posesiva y demente obsesión de su madre. La antropóloga Margaret Mead (1.901 – 1.978. EEUU), revolucionó esta ciencia y la popularizó gracias a desarrollo de métodos modernos de estudio y difusión. Su vida fue intensa y extremadamente interesante. La vida de Camille Claudel, nacida en Francia en 1.864, es otro de los ejemplos de cómo una mujer de talento es relegada al olvido por los prejuicios de una época y la supremacía casi absoluta del hombre. Su fin fue muy triste y solo se la conoce por ser la amante del escultor Auguste Rodin, aunque era una destacada escultora y, como ahora se sabe algunas de las obras atribuidas a él eran suyas, y como la hermana “artista” del escritor Paul Claudel. “Cumbres Borrascosas”, de Emily Brontë; “Jane Eyre”, de Charlotte Brontë; “Agnes Grey”, de Anne Brontë, son tres novelas que tuvieron un éxito sin precedentes en la Inglaterra del siglo XIX y lo siguen siendo hoy en día en todo el mundo. Sin embargo estas tres hermanas vivieron toda su vida casi en el anonimato (publicaban con seudónimos, masculinos naturalmente), en un desolado páramo del campo inglés.

di Michela MurgiaLe Morgane di questo mese sono le scrittrici Emily, Charlotte e Anne Brontë, le sorelle di provincia malvestite e goffe, con corpi piegati dalla tisi e labbra vedove di baci, estranee a ogni corrente letteraria, che in piena epoca vittoriana hanno deflagrato ogni regola. Dopo l'esordio sotto pseudonimi maschili, le sorelle Brontë sono state tre pioniere inconsapevoli ma capaci di scardinare dalla loro distanza siderale dal mondo tutti i confini in cui la donna è stata relegata fino a quel momento.

Agnes Grey es una novela escrita por Anne Brontë, quizá la menos conocida de las hermanas Brontë, en 1847.

In literature, entertainment, and sports, the subject of sisters interacting always seems to be popular. For generations, people have enjoyed the classic works of the Bronte sisters, and their widely read novels, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Agnes Grey, have inspired plays and movies. In the music field, the Andrews Sisters enjoyed popularity for a generation, along with the McGuire Sisters. In more recent times, the musical group Dixie Chicks, founded by two sisters, enthralled audiences with their high-energy performances. In professional sports, Venus and Serena Williams dominated women’s professional tennis for over a decade. Full text at - https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/sisters
