TALES OF GLASS TOWN, ANGRIA AND GONDAL: SELECTED EARLY WRITING (Oxford World´s Classics New Edition)

Více o produktu ↓

Originální anglická četba - výběr z díla Ch. Brontës In their collaborative early writings the Brontës created and peopled the most extraordinary fantasy worlds, whose geography and history they elaborated in numerous stories, poems, and plays. Together they invented characters based on heroes and writers such as Wellington, Napoleon, Scott, and Byron, whose feuds, alliances, and love affairs weave an intricate web of social and political intrigue in imaginary colonial lands in Africa and the Pacific Ocean. The writings of Glass Town, Angria, and Gondal are youthful experiments in imitation and parody, wild romance and realistic recording; they demonstrate the playful literary world that provided a 'myth kitty' for their early - and later - work.

In this generous selection the writings of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell are presented together for the first time. The Introduction explores the rich imaginative lives of the Brontës, and the tension between their maturing authorship and creative freedom. The edition also includes Charlotte Brontës Roe Head Journal, and Emily and Anne's Diary Papers, important autobiographical sources.

Readership : Readers of the Brontë novels, classic literature, and childhood writings, students of Victorian Studies, Romantic Studies, Nineteenth-century Literature, the Novel, Nineteenth-century poetry, and Children's Literature.
