Biographical Notes and Poems (EasyRead Super Large 18pt Edition)

Product Description Biographical Notes and Poems is a joint anthology of deftly composed poems by the Bronte Sisters that were published under their male pseudonyms. The collection also contains an essay by Charlotte Bronte in which she highlights the reasons behind the use of pseudonyms by the sisters. The backgrounds to most of their works, as well as public reception and critics' responses to the works are also explained by Charlotte Bronte. About the Author In 1846, Charlotte Bront_ and her sisters began publishing under assumed gender-ambiguous pen-names because of “a vague impression that authoresses are liable to be looked on with prejudice.” By 1849, all her siblings had died. The now well-known author of Jane Eyre travelled to London and enjoyed the friendship of many writers and intellectuals. In 1854, she married. She and her unborn child died soon thereafter.
