Rezension

"At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Bronte."

Auszüge aus dem Buch

Chapter One

There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.

I was glad of it; I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.

The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mamma in the drawing-room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. Me, she had dispensed from joining the group, saying, "She regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner--something lighter, franker, more natural, as it were--she really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy little children."

"What does Bessie say I have done?" I asked.

"Jane, I don't like cavillers or questioners; besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner. Be seated somewhere; and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent."

A small breakfast-room adjoined the drawing-room, I slipped in there. It contained a bookcase; I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures. I mounted into the window-seat: gathering up my feet, I sat crosslegged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.

Folds of scarlet drapery shut in my view to the right hand; to the left were the clear panes of glass, protecting, but not separating me from the drear November day. At intervals, while turning over the leaves in my book, I studied the aspect of that winter afternoon. Afar, it offered a pale blank of mist and cloud; near, a scene of wet lawn and storm-beat shrub, with ceaseless rain sweeping away wildly before a long and lamentable blast.

I returned to my book--Bewick's History of British Birds: the letterpress thereof I cared little for, generally speaking; and yet there were certain introductory pages that, child as I was, I could not pass quite as a blank. They were those which treat of the haunts of sea-fowl; of "the solitary rocks and promontories" by them only inhabited; of the coast of Norway, studded with isles from its southern extremity, the Lindeness, or Naze, to the North Cape--

Where the Northern Ocean, in vast whirls,

Boils round the naked, melancholy isles

Of farthest Thule; and the Atlantic surge

Pours in among the stormy Hebrides.

Nor could I pass unnoticed the suggestion of the bleak shores of Lapland, Siberia, Spitzbergen, Nova Zembla, Iceland, Greenland, with "the vast sweep of the Arctic Zone, and those forlorn regions of dreary space--that reservoir of frost and snow, where firm fields of ice, the accumulation of centuries of winters, glazed in Alpine heights above heights, surround the pole, and concentre the multiplied rigours of extreme cold." Of these death-white realms I formed an idea of my own: shadowy, like all the half-comprehended notions that float dim through children's brains, but strangely impressive. The words in these introductory pages connected themselves with the succeeding vignettes, and gave significance to the rock standing up alone in a s

Biografie

Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 1855) ist die älteste der drei außergewöhnlichen Schriftsteller-Schwestern. Sie wurde am 21. April 1816 als dritte Tochter eines irischen Methodistenpfarrers im britischen District Yorkshire geboren. Sie hatte vier Schwestern und einen Bruder. Als Charlotte fünf Jahre alt war, starb ihre Mutter. Auch ihre beiden älteren Schwestern starben. Charlotte unterrichtete ihre jüngeren Schwestern Emily und Anne zu Hause und arbeitete zeitweise in zwei anderen Haushalten als Gouvernante. 1847 veröffentlicht Charlotte ihren Roman "Jane Eyre", in dem sie vom Schicksal einer Gouvernante erzählt. Die Bekanntgabe der Identität der "Brüder Bell" beim Londoner Verleger sorgte für einen Skandal. Charlotte schrieb "Shirley", reiste nach London und fand Kontakt zu literarischen Kreisen um William M. Thackeray. 1854 heiratete sie den Hilfspfarrer A.B. Nicholls, für den sie Bewunderung, aber keine Liebe empfand. Im selben Jahr erwartete sie ein Kind und bekam eine schwere Lungenentzündung, von der sie sich nicht mehr erholte: sie hatte ihre jüngeren Schwestern überlebt, starb jedoch in Haworth, drei Wochen vor ihrem 39. Geburtstag.
