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.

Join me as I sit down with Diane Park, the remarkable owner of Wave of Nostalgia in Hayworth, UK. Diane's journey is anything but conventional. From leaving school at 16 and facing early adult responsibilities after her mother's passing to a career in banking and achievements in indoor rowing, Diane's path has been full of twists and turns. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience as she navigates her roles as a mother, local councilor, and now a bookstore owner. In this episode, Diane transports us to the charming village of Hayworth, famous for the Bronte sisters, where she has created a haven for book lovers who enjoy reading feminist, LGBTQ+, and environmental literature. Diane shares the joys of community life, the challenges and triumphs of running an independent bookshop, and the importance of inclusivity. This episode is a celebration of literature's power to transform lives and bring communities together.Wave of NostalgiaThe Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne BrontëMiranda Hart – The Biography, Sophie JohnsonIs It Just Me?, Miranda HartWalking the Invisible, Michael StewartEmily Brontë Reappraised, Claire O'CallaghanCharlotte BradmanKirsten MillerLaura BatesLeslie KernStephanie ShieldsSupport the Show.The Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

All they keep asking me, is if I'm gonna be your bride. We're a literary-focused Taylor Swift podcast, so it was only a matter of time before we brought Jane Austen into the mix. In this episode, we explore three songs in relation to Pride and Prejudice. Jenn focuses on the sisterly relationship between Elizabeth and Jane with “I'm Only Me When I'm With You.” Maansi zooms into the moment Darcy confesses his love to Elizabeth, only to be brutally rebuffed, with the song “Haunted.” And Jodi explores the connections between the societal pressure to get married in Pride and Prejudice and “Lavender Haze.” It is a truth universally acknowledged that any conversation on this podcast will find literary and pop culture references to Taylor Swift, and this episode is no different!    Mentioned in this episode:  Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen  “I'm Only Me When I'm With You,” Taylor Swift  & Juliet  The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte “Haunted”, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) Hamilton Emma, Jane Austen “Lavender Haze,” Midnights  Bridgerton Looking for an audio book?

When Helen Graham moves into old Wildfell Hall with her little son Arthur, the rustic neighborhood comes alive with gossip and speculation, particularly when saturnine Mr. Lawrence (who bears an uncanny resemblance to the child) begins to visit her clandestinely. Local gentleman farmer Gilbert Markham falls in love with her almost against his will, despite rumors that she supports herself by the work of her hands and can give no account of her origins. Only when her diary comes into Markham's hands do we find out why she has so exiled herself. As the chapters of the diary unfold, explicit scenes of adultery, seduction, and debauchery show why the novel was so shocking when it was first published, easily outselling the more famous debut novels of the three Brontë sisters. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Generelt kan landets store museer se tilbage på et velbesøgt år 2023, hvor det endda blev til et par eftertrykkelige rekorder. Blandt andet på Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), som med et succesrigt 2023 har fortsat takterne fra året før, hvor museet også satte besøgsrekord. Det skriver Kulturmonitor, der har samlet besøgstallene fra landets største museer. Vi ser på tallene med Jane Mylenberg, debattør, stifter af Mylenberg Consulting og tidligere museumsdirektør på Kommunikationsmuseet ENIGMA. De tre engelske forfattersøstre Charlotte, Anne og Emily Brontë, der bl.a. står bag romanerne Jane Eyre, Stormfulde højder og Fruen til Wildfell Hall, blev født i et rækkehus i det nordlige England i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet. Siden flyttede familien, og huset blev solgt, men nu har en gruppe dedikerede Brontë-fans indsamlet penge til at renovere og genåbne søstrenes fødehjem i Yorkshire. Men hvorfor taler vi stadig om Brontë-søstrene 200 år efter, de blev født, og hvilken indflydelse har de haft på den engelske litteraturhistorie og litteraturtradition? Litteraturformidler og cand.mag. i Dansk, Engelsk og Teatervidenskab, Lise Lotte Frederiksen, har et bud. Værter: Chris Pedersen og Jesper Dein.

In this (mostly) spoiler-free* episode, Neha and Shruti reflect on the experience of reading books from around the world. We zoom out and talk on a broad level about narrative voice, villainy, disability representation and its portrayal in literature, and post-colonial writing. We also do a deep dive into trauma narratives - why are they so popular nowadays? What stories are being promoted, and how does this limit the stories being told by authors of color?We had so much to say on these topics, that we just couldn't get to all of it in the episode! We decided to continue the discussion in our upcoming email newsletter - subscribe for free to join the conversation. You can also connect with us on Instagram, or email us at thenovelteapod@gmail.com.*We mention some minor plot points for The Murmur of Bees, Fruit of the Drunken Tree, and Pachinko (10:26-12:05), but we don't think these spoil the story in a significant way. Still, if you prefer to read books without any prior knowledge, make sure to check out these books before you listen to this episode!Links:The Case Against the Trauma Plot by Parul Sehgal in the New YorkerBooks mentioned:Illness as Metaphor by Susan SontagTess of D'Urbervilles by Thomas HardyThe Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne BronteI'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdyRegarding the Pain of Others by Susan SontagLetters to a Writer of Color edited by Deepa Anappara and Taymour SoomroLike Water for Chocolate by Laura EsquivelSea Monsters by Chloe AridjisThe Bone People by Keri HulmeCry, the Beloved Country by Alan PatonBeasts of a Little Land by Juhea Kim Hosted on Acast.

On The Literary Life podcast today, our hosts Angelina, Cindy and Thomas sit down for a chat with twin sisters Addison and Ella Hornstra. Together they have been given a literary home education, and this fall they will continue that journey at New College Franklin. Angelina introduces the Hornstra ladies and she and Thomas tell a little bit about having them as students. Cindy also shares how she met the Hornstra family. Then they dig into the girls' reading journeys from the beginning of their learning to read all the way to their current reading lives. Some of the topics that come up in this conversation are: reading content beyond your understanding, owning your reading life, the problem with using the wrong approach to literature, the dangers of modern education for uniquely gifted students, the power of just reading well, and so much more. Come explore, with seasoned moms, the things that stand the test of time in our homeschools at this year's Literary Life Back to School Online Conference. In addition to our hosts, Donna-Jean Breckenridge and a panel of home educating parents and their adult children, will be bringing encouragement and insight to help you on your homeschool journey. This year's conference will be live online on August 2-5, with recordings available for those who cannot join live. Commonplace Quotes: It is bad to spend too many hours over either a microscope or telescope or in gazing fixedly at some one distance range. The eyes need change of focus, and so does the imagination. There has been in modern Europe a shocking riot in misuse of the imagination. The remedy is to learn to use it. But the same kind of people who would like to bandage a child's eyes lest it should learn to squint like to bandage the imagination lest it should wear itself out by squinting.

The novel is a coming-of-age tale that explores themes such as love, social class, morality, and the search for personal independence.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - Anne Brontë - Book 1, Part 1 Title: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Overview: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the second and final novel written by English author Anne Brontë. It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Brontës' novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Anne's death, her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication in England until 1854. The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend about the events connected with his meeting a mysterious young widow, calling herself Helen Graham, who arrives at Wildfell Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which has been empty for many years, with her young son and a servant. Contrary to the early 19th century norms, she pursues an artist's career and makes an income by selling her pictures. Her strict seclusion soon gives rise to gossip in the neighboring village and she becomes a social outcast. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert befriends her and discovers her past. In the diary she gives Gilbert, she chronicles her husband's physical and moral decline through alcohol and debauchery in the dissipated aristocratic society. Ultimately she flees with her son, whom she desperately wishes to save from his father's influence. The depiction of marital strife and women's professional identification has also a strong moral message mitigated by Anne Brontë's belief in universal salvation. Most critics now consider The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to be one of the first feminist novels. May Sinclair, in 1913, said that "the slamming of [Helen's] bedroom door against her husband reverberated throughout Victorian England." In leaving her husband and taking away their child, Helen violates not only social conventions but also the early 19th century English law.
