But where are the women in this roster of legendary friendships? Jane Austen is mythologized as a shy and sheltered spinster; the Brontё sisters, lonely wanderers of windswept moors; George Eliot, an aloof intellectual; and Virginia Woolf, a melancholic genius.We think that many Brontë biographies do pay attention to Mary Taylor and her possible influences on the Brontë family, though.
Skeptical of such images of isolation, we set out to investigate. We soon discovered that behind each of these celebrated authors was a close alliance with another female writer. But, to this day, these literary bonds have been systematically forgotten, distorted or downright suppressed.
Similarly, the early 19th century upbringing of the Brontё sisters causes endless fascination, yet biographers pay scant attention to the literary influence of Charlotte’s friend, the feminist writer Mary Taylor.
Her calling card, however, was a magnificent, two-part Jane Eyre, a total theatre treat that translated Charlotte Brontë’s book into movement and music, colour and light. Since its premiere at the Bristol Old Vic in 2014, more than 250,000 people have seen it on stage or on screen – possibly unprecedented for a piece of devised theatre. (Matt Trueman)Film Music Magazine interviews composer Dario Marianelli and recalls his work for Jane Eyre 2011.
His ravishing sense of feminine empathy has distinguished “Jane Eyre” “Agora” and “Anna Karenina”. (Daniel Schweiger)Anchorage Press discusses dysfunctional families and apparently, the columnist's parents weren't
nearly as scandalous as Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. (Miles Jay Oliver)Whatever that means.
Y este año nos inspiraremos en una obra de la ilustre escritora británica: Emily Brontë, porque en 2018 se conmemorará el paso de un siglo desde su nacimiento y merece recordar a esta poetisa, que toco la narrativa bajo el pseudónimo de: “Ellis Bell” y que será siempre recordada por su única novela titulada: “Cumbres Borrascosas” y aunque sea poco decoroso, esta vez tiraremos de su párrafo final, porque seguro que os sugiere, otra corta pero gran historia:Romance MFA compares Jane Eyre to Samuel Richardson's Pamela.
(Ya nos contaréis, cuáles eran aquellos sueños o quienes descansaban en aquellas tumbas, quietas o inquietas…) [...]
Como reza el cartel de esta quinta edición de nuestro certamen, la Dirección del Concurso, quiere conmemorar, otra efeméride literaria de gran relevancia internacional, el primer centenario del nacimiento de la poetisa británica la inglesa: Emily Brontë (Thornton, 30 de julio de 1918 – Haworth, 19 de diciembre de 1848) aunque lo hiciera en su lengua, cuya obra ha sido íntegramente traducida a esta lengua española que tanto queremos.
