Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A literary biography of Charlotte and Emily Brontë's crucial formative period in Brussels, where Charlotte fell deeply in love with their tutor Constantin Heger. In this fascinating historical narrative, prominent Brontë scholar and Brussels resident Helen MacEwan recounts the transformative time Charlotte and Emily Brontë spent in Brussels that shaped them into becoming the celebrated writers they are known as today. In 1842, 5 years before they would become bestselling authors, Charlotte Brontë and her sister Emily arrived in Brussels. They were there to improve their French and German, but the years they spent in a pensionnat being taught by the charismatic Constantin Heger would do much more than polish their languages. It was a crucial turning point for both their writing and their personal lives. Each came away from Brussels a more mature and capable artist; Charlotte, having fallen lastingly in love with Heger, left with a broken heart and the inspiration for 2 novels, The Professor and Villette. Drawing from original primary sources including student essays, Charlotte's letters and novels, as well as research into the Brussels of the time, MacEwan weaves a dynamic tale of a formative period in the lives of these 2 monumental writers. She tracks the influence of their Brussels years through their writing, giving insight into their artistic formation and painting a vivid picture of the bustling 19th-century city that opened the sisters' eyes to life beyond Haworth Parsonage. Eye-opening and immersive, this literary gem is a treat for Brontë ethusiasts and fans of literary biographies such as Jane Austen at Home and Dickensland.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The biographer Winifred Gérin (1901-81), who wrote the lives of all four Brontë siblings, stumbled on her literary vocation on a visit to Haworth, after a difficult decade following the death of her first husband. On the same visit she met her second husband, a Brontë enthusiast twenty years her junior. Together they turned their backs on London to live within sight of the Parsonage, Gérin believing that full understanding of the Brontës required total immersion in their environment. Gérin's childhood and youth, like the Brontës', was characterised by a cultured home and intense imaginative life shared with her sister and two brothers, and by family tragedies (the loss of two siblings in early life). Strong cultural influences formed the children's imagination: polyglot parents, French history, the Crystal Palace, Old Vic productions. Winifred's years at Newnham College, Cambridge were enlivened by eccentric characters such as the legendary lecturer Quiller-Couch (Q'), Lytton Strachey's sister Pernel and Bloomsbury's favourite philosopher, G.E. Moore. Her happy life in Paris with her Belgian cellist husband, Eugène Gérin, was brought to an abrupt end by the Second World War, in which the couple had many adventures: fleeing occupied Belgium, saving Jews in Nice in Vichy France, escaping through Spain and Portugal to England, where they did secret war work for Political Intelligence near Bletchley. After Eugène's death in 1945 Winifred coped with bereavement through poetry and playwriting until discovering her true literary metier on the trip to Haworth. She also wrote about Elizabeth Gaskell, Anne Thackeray Ritchie and Fanny Burney. The book is based on her letters and on her unpublished memoir.…
