The works of the three sisters came out one after another, causing a sensation in the literary world of Europe and even the world. The three sisters published many novels and poems in the 19th century, which are famous at home and abroad for their literary and artistic values.
What books did the three Bronte sisters write
1. Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre tells the story of a girl who grows up firmly in adversity and finally gains happiness and makes people yearn for it. Charlotte Bronte is one of the three famous Bronte sisters in the history of English literature.
Born in a remote village in the north of England, she was sent to a boarding school by her father. It was also a school for poor people. In a poor village, Charlotte had a difficult childhood, and literature and words were her only consolation.
Jane Eyre, Charlotte's representative work, is also the first handed down work in the history of English literature to express the voice of women. Charlotte's works have similar and obvious themes, all of which show women's autonomy and independence and highlight women's beauty.
2. Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights
In this work, the contradiction between Catherine's love ideal and the social reality reflects her tragic theme. From a deeper perspective, this work shows Bronte's beautiful yearning for life, good wishes for social development, and pursuit of life's ideal. It is full of tragic color, but also flows with a strange and tense romantic atmosphere.
Emily's Wuthering Heights, together with her sister's other works, forged a legend in the Victorian literary world, which successfully established Emily's position in the history of English and world literature.
3. Agnes Gray by Anne Bronte
This book is the first work of Anne Bronte, the smallest of the three famous Bronte sisters in the literary world, with obvious autobiographical color. It is almost the portrayal of the author's life.
George Moore, a famous Irish novelist, poet and critic, praised the book as "the most perfect prose novel in English literature" and considered it "simple and beautiful, just like a thin gauze dress".
How Charlotte Bronte's Works Reflect Female Consciousness
Charlotte's novels imply the pursuit of women's freedom. In different novels, Charlotte adopts different ways to convey female consciousness.
Jane Eyre is an autobiography. The heroine in the book is ordinary in appearance, low in status and rebellious in personality. She has independent personality and equal love view, does not yield to marriage due to money and material conditions, and her love with Rochester is based on the resonance of ideology and spirit, with a strong ideal color.
In contrast, Sherry and Villette are more realistic and contemporary. Sherry shows the appeal for women's independent and equal rights and interests by reflecting Sherry's character image and his tortuous love experience. Villette is also an autobiographical novel, criticizing the social reality from the female perspective, and is the author's catharsis and self-examination of self love.
What are Emily Bronte's creative characteristics
Emily has a strong wilderness complex. She is good at describing supernatural phenomena in her works, creating a horrible and mysterious atmosphere, running through the twists and turns of strange thrillers, and shaping a rebellious marginal person and a Gothic hero with a proud character.
As a representative work of Gothic style, Wuthering Heights is set on the desolate and remote wilderness, and describes a series of events in the Heights. Through such supernatural techniques as balderdash and fantasy, the work depicts the love psychology of the protagonists Heathcliff and Catherine in detail, showing the instinctive impulse of human nature and bright and strong feelings of the characters.
