Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell (EasyRead Super Large 24pt Edition)

Product Description Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell (1846) is a collection of poems published by the three Bront sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. They used genderless first names for the publication of their work to avoid the contemporary prejudice against female writers. With themes drawn from real life, the poems reflect Bront sisters views on different subjects. Pilates Wifes Dream, Mementos, and Frances are some of the poems included in the volume. 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.
