offer of marriage from James Taylor. But they were married on June 29, 1854,
in Haworth church. He did not share his wife’s intellectual life, but she was
happy to be loved for herself and to take up her duties as his wife. She began
another book, Emma, of which some pages remain. Her pregnancy, however,
was accompanied by exhausting sickness, and she died in 1855.
The influence of Charlotte’s novels was much more immediate than that
of Withering Heights. Charlotte’s combination of romance and satiric realism
had been the mode of nearly all the women novelists for a century. Her fruitful
innovations were the presentation of a tale through the sensibility of a child or
young woman, her lyricism, and the picture of love from a woman’s standpoint.
Bronte, Emily, pseudonym Elle Bell (b. July 30, 1818, Thorton,
Yorkshire, Eng. - d. Dec.19, 1848, Haworth, Yorkshire), English novelist and
poet who produced one novel, Withering Heights (1847), a highly imaginative
novel of passion and hate set on the Yorkshire moors. Emily was perhaps the
greatest of the three Bronte sisters, but the record of her life is extremely
meager, for she was silent and reserved and left no correspondence of interest,
and her single novel darkens rather than solves the mystery of her spiritual
existence.
In 1845 Charlotte came across some poems by Emily, and this led to the
discovery that all three sister - Charlotte, Emily, and Anne - had written verse.
Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, the initials of these pseudonyms being
those of the sisters, contained 21 of Emily’s poems, and a consensus of later
criticism has accepted the fact that Emily’s verse alone reveals true poetic
genius.
By midsummer of 1847 Emily’s Withering Height and Anne’s Agnes Grey
had been accepted for joint publication by J. Cautley Newby of London, but
publication of the three volumes was delayed until the appearance of their sister
Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, which was immediately and hugely successful. Withering
Heights, when published in December 1847, did not fare well; critics were hostile,
calling it too savage, too animal-like, and clumsy in construction. Only later did it
come to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language.
Soon after the publication of her novel, Emily’s health began to fail
rapidly. She died of tuberculosis in December 1848.
5.10. “Daddy-Long-Legs” by Jean Webster
“Daddy-Long-Legs” is a modern psychological novel, written in the form
of letters of Jerusha Abbot, a poor orphan of John Grier Home to her guardian.
The book is chiefly concerned with human nature, establishing human relations
and choosing one’s road in life. The story is written in the first person and each
episode is a brilliant example of letter writing.
At first the action takes place in the asylum where Jerusha Abbot, being
the oldest orphan, has to bear the brunt of hard work. On one particular blue
