Beschreibung zu „The Life of Charlotte Brontë (Illustrated Edition)“

The Life of Charlotte Brontë is the posthumous biography of Charlotte Brontë by fellow Victorian novelist, and her close friend Elizabeth Gaskell. A major source was the hundreds of letters sent by Brontë to her lifelong friend Ellen Nussey. Gaskell had to deal with some sensitive issues. She toned down some of her material concerning the Clergy Daughters' School, attended by Charlotte and her sisters, whose founder was blamed for the deaths of two Brontë sisters. Although quite frank in many places, Gaskell suppressed details of Charlotte's love for Constantin Héger, a married man, on the grounds that it would be too great an affront to contemporary morals and a possible source of distress to Charlotte's still-living friends, father Patrick Brontë and husband.
Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) was an English novelist and short story writer. Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of Victorian society, including the very poor, and are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature. Some of Gaskell's best known novels are Cranford, North and South, and Wives and Daughters.

Über Elizabeth Gaskell

Elizabeth Gaskell nació en Londres en 1810 y al casarse se estableció en Manchester, en los inicios de la revolución industrial. El choque con esta sociedad quedaría reflejado en varias de sus novelas, especialmente en Norte y Sur (1855; ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR núm. XXIV). En 1857 publicó Vida de Charlotte Brontë (ALBA CLÁSICA BIOGRAFÍAS, núm. IV). Otras obras de Gaskell son Cranford (1851-1853, ALBA CLÁSICA, núm. XLII), Cuentos góticos (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XCIV), Los amores de Sylvia (1863) e Hijas y esposas (ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR núm. XLII), cuyos últimos capítulos dejaría sin concluir a su muerte, en 1865).
