Anne Brontë cytaty

Anne Brontë – angielska pisarka, jedna z trzech sławnych sióstr-pisarek Brontë.

Anne urodziła się w Thornton, w hrabstwie Yorkshire 17 stycznia 1820 roku. Rok później, po przeprowadzce rodziny do Haworth, umarła jej matka. Śmierć ta, jak również zgony czworga z rodzeństwa miały wpływ na dalsze życie Anne. Wraz z siostrami kształciła się na pensji dla niezamożnych panien w Westmoreland. Później pracowała jako guwernantka. Wspólnie z siostrami Charlotte i Emily Jane od wczesnej młodości pisała wiersze i opowiadania. W 1846 r. dzięki staraniom Charlotte ukazał się tomik poezji, złożony z utworów trzech sióstr Brontë. Wiersze, podobnie jak i później powieści sióstr, ukazały się pod męskimi pseudonimami Currer, Ellis i Acton Bell. Anne była "Actonem".

Zmarła w nadmorskim kurorcie Scarborough w Anglii, gdzie leczyła się z powodu gruźlicy . Kurort ten był miejscem akcji jej powieści, a po śmierci pisarki - również miejscem jej pochówku . Jej nagrobek został zaprojektowany przez Charlotte.

Anne wydała dwie powieści:

Lokatorka Wildfell Hall – poprzez temat alkoholizmu związana z losem jej brata, BranwellaW książce Charlotte Bronte i jej siostry śpiące Eryk Ostrowski sugeruje, że autorką wszystkich dzieł sióstr Bronte była najstarsza z nich: Charlotte Brontë. Autor sugeruje, że Charlotte przypisała autorstwo kilku swoich powieści młodszym siostrom, aby zabezpieczyć ich egzystencję na wypadek śmierci ojca, bazując jednak głównie na analizie samych tekstów literackich.

“Smiles and tears are so alike with me, they are neither of them confined to any particular feelings: I often cry when I am happy, and smile when I am sad.”

“All novels are, or should be, written for both men and women to read, and I am at loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man.”

Anne Brontë książka Lokatorka Wildfell Hall

Preface, 2nd edition (22 July 1848)
Źródło: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848)
Kontekst: I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are, or should be, written for both men and women to read, and I am at loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man.

“But he, that dares not grasp the thorn
Should never crave the rose.”

The Narrow Way (1848)
Kontekst: On all her breezes borne
Earth yields no scents like those;
But he, that dares not grasp the thorn
Should never crave the rose.

“All true histories contain instruction”

Anne Brontë książka Agnes Grey

Źródło: Agnes Grey (1847), Ch. I : The Parsonage
Kontekst: All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity, that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut. Whether this be the case with my history or not, I am hardly competent to judge. I sometimes think it might prove useful to some, and entertaining to others; but the world may judge for itself. Shielded by my own obscurity, and by the lapse of years, and a few fictitious names, I do not fear to venture; and will candidly lay before the public what I would not disclose to the most intimate friend.

“Are you hero enough to unite yourself to one whom you know to be suspected and despised by all around you, and identify your interests and your honour with hers? Think! it is a serious thing.”

“While on my lonely couch I lie,
I seldom feel myself alone,
For fancy fills my dreaming eye
With scenes and pleasures of its own.”

Kontekst: While on my lonely couch I lie,
I seldom feel myself alone,
For fancy fills my dreaming eye
With scenes and pleasures of its own.
Then I may cherish at my breast
An infant's form beloved and fair,
May smile and soothe it into rest
With all a Mother's fondest care.

“Forgetfulness is not to be purchased with a wish; and I cannot bestow my esteem on all who desire it, unless they deserve it too.”

“I have no horror of death: if I thought it inevitable I think I could quietly resign myself to the prospect … But I wish it would please God to spare me not only for Papa's and Charlotte's sakes, but because I long to do some good in the world before I leave it.”

Letter to Ellen Hussey (5 April 1849), published in The Letters of Charlotte Brontë : With a Selection of Letters by Family and Friends (1995), edited by Margaret Smith, Vol. II: 1848–1851, p. 195
Kontekst: I have no horror of death: if I thought it inevitable I think I could quietly resign myself to the prospect... But I wish it would please God to spare me not only for Papa's and Charlotte's sakes, but because I long to do some good in the world before I leave it. I have many schemes in my head for future practice – humble and limited indeed – but still I should not like them all to come to nothing, and myself to have lived to so little purpose. But God's will be done.
