Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey If we respect the pieties of tradition, it is right and fitting that the novels of Anne Bronte should follow Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre and the rest. The Brontës created that tradition; they clung together; they refused to be separated. Charlotte may be said to have thrust the works of her youngest sister upon the public that had acclaimed her own with such violent enthusiasm and accepted Emily´s somewhat reluctantly at her hands. And even now, in the second decade of the twentieth century, it is as if she still kept her hold of the frail Anne and thrust her on us. In the face of this almost supernatural tenacity, this persistence from beyond the grave, it might be indecent to raise the question whether there is any reason, apart from pious tradition, why the novels of Anne Bronte should be resuscitated. But we have got to face it. You can put it in two ways: What does Anne Bronte represent (besides pious tradition)? What place in literature does she fill? And if we should be compelled (and I think we are compelled) to confess that she fills no place at all except that holy and humble one her sister gave her, there is still a loophole for our charity and piety. She does represent something, if it is only the restless misery of women born into the Victorian age before their time. All the Brontes were born before their time, even Branwell. Branwell (in the late eighties and nineties) would have found plenty of people to condone his "errors"; while in the twentieth century, as presenting a beautiful and marked "neurosis," he would have been an object of veneration to our psychologists and psychotherapists. Our reviewers, with their boundless tolerance, might even have found a place for Branwell´s "poetry." And Anne, though in many respects an ultra-Victorian woman, rigid in Victorian Puritanism and at the same time saturated with Victorian sentiment, Anne belongs even more than Charlotte, more than Emily, to the twentieth century.
