2.作者简银穗含介:
艾米莉·勃朗特1818~1848)英国女作家。夏洛蒂·勃朗特之妹,安妮·勃朗特之姐,她被人们认为是三姐妹中天分最高的一位。
她沉默寡言,性格自闭,孤傲乖僻,挚爱荒原,一生 中几乎没有朋友。但她却有惊人的想象力和卓越的文才,创作了大量的抒情诗。并以唯一的一部小说《呼啸山庄》驰名文坛,被誉为英国19世纪文学史中最奇特的女作家。
这位女作家在世界上仅仅度过了三十年便默默无闻地离开了人间。《呼啸山庄》奠定了她在英国文学史以及世界文学史上的地位。她与《简爱》的作者夏洛蒂•勃朗特和她们的小妹妹——《爱格尼斯•格雷》的作者安•勃朗特号称勃朗特三姊妹,在英国十九世纪文坛上焕发异彩。
艾米莉•勃朗特所生活的三十年间正是英国社会动荡的时代。资本主义正在发展并越来越暴露它内在的缺陷;劳资之间矛盾尖锐化;失业工人的贫困;大量的童工被残酷地折磨至死。再加上英国政府对民主改革斗争和工人运动采取高压段,因此这一时期的文学作品也有所反映。我们的女作家艾米莉•勃朗特就是诞生在这样斗争的年代。她生在一个牧师家庭里, 这个家庭一向离群索居,四个兄弟姊妹便族让常以读书、写作诗歌,及杜撰传奇故事来打发寂寞的时光。她们的家虽然临近豪渥斯工业区,然而这所住宅恰好位于城镇与荒野之间。艾米莉经常和她的姊妹们到西边的旷野地里散步。因此一方面勃朗特姊妹看到了城镇中正在发展的资本主义社会,另一方面也受锋笑到了旷野气氛的感染。特别是艾米莉,她表面沉默寡言,内心却热情奔放,虽不懂政治,却十分关心政治,同情手工业工人的反抗和斗争。这就为《呼啸山庄》的诞生创造了条件。
Wuthering Heights
Summary
Perhaps the most enduring and affecting of the Bront?sisters' work is Wuthering Heights. Emily Bront?s tale of heartbreak and mystery still resonates on an emotional level with its theme of doomed romance. It was written between October 1845 and June 1846, appearing in print finally in December 1847. Emily's sister Charlotte spoke of the "horror of great darkness" surrounding the novel in her memoirs and it only received recognition after Emily's death from consumption in 1848. Much of the first half of the novel concerns the passionate and illicit relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Mr Heathcliff as narrated by a number of individuals: primarily by Mr Lockwood and Nelly Dean, the housekeeper of Thrushcross Grange. There is intrigue concerning Heathcliff who has taken over the Grange and keeps a clumsy boy called Hareton Earnshaw. We learn of how his morose and stern attitude began and the cruel twists of fate which have torn two families apart. The death of Catherine and the true intentions of the novel's various mysterious characters have been the source of much speculation and even now Wuthering Heights remains genuinely harrowing and cathartic.
下面是作者简介:
Emily Bronte (1818-1848) is perhaps the greatest writer of the three Bront� sisters - Charlotte Bronte, Emily, and Anne Bronte. Emily Bronte published only one novel, Wuthering Heights (1847), a story of doomed love and revenge. But that single work has its place among the masterpieces of English literature. Some of her best lyrics are also rated with the best in English poetry.
Emily Brontë was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, in the north of England. Her father was the rector of Hawort from 1820. After their mother died in 1821, the children spent most of their time in reading and composition. To escape their unhappy childhood, Anne, Emily, Charlotte and their brother Branwell created imaginary worlds - perhaps inspired by Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726). Emily and Anne created their own Gondal saga, and Bramwell and Charlotte recorded their stories about the kingdom of Angria in minute notebooks. Between the years 1824 and 1825 Emily attended the school at Cowan Bridge with Charlotte, and then was largely educated at home. Her father's bookshelf offered a variety of reading: the Bible, Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron, Scott and many others. The children also read enthusiastically articles on current affairs and intellectual disputes in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Fraser's Magazine, and Edinburgh Review.
In 1835 Emily Brontë was at Roe Head, but suffered from homesickness and returned after a few months to the moorland scenery of home. In 1837 she became a governess at Law Hill, near Halifax, where she spent six months. To facilitate their plan to keep school for girls, Emily and Charlotte Brontë went in 1842 to Brussels to learn foreign languages and school management. Emily returned on the same year to Haworth, where she stayed for the rest of her brief life.
Unlike Charlotte, Emily had no close friends. She wrote a few letters and was interested in mysticism. Her first novel, Wuthering Heights (1847), a story-within-a-story, did not gain immediate success as Charlotte's Jane Eyre, but it has acclaimed later fame as one of the most intense novels written in the English language. In contrast to Charlotte and Anne, whose novels take the form of autobiographies written by authoritative and reliable narrators, Emily introduced an unreliable narrator, Lockwood. He constantly misinterprets the reactions and interactions of the inhabitants of Wuthering Heights. More reliable is Nelly Dean, his housekeeper, who has lived for two generations with the novel's two principal families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons.
Emily Brontë died of tuberculosis in the late 1848. She had caught cold at her brother Branwell's funeral in September. After the appearance of Wuthering Heighs, some skeptics maintained that the book was written by Branwell, on the grounds that no woman from such circumscribed life, could have written such passionate story. In 1848 Charlotte and Anne visited George Smith to reveal their identity and to help quell rumors that a single author lay behind the pseudonyms. After her sisters' deaths, Charlotte edited a second edition of their novels, with prefatory commentary aimed at correcting what she saw as the reviewers' misunderstanding of Wuthering Heights. The complex time scheme of the novel had been taken as evidence by the critics, that Emily had not achieved full formal control over her narrative materials. However, her model in layering narrative within narrative may have been Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818). Emily's refusal to reduce ambiguity to simplistic clarity did not have any immediate influence on the novel form until Wilkie Collins experimented with multivocal first-person narratives in such works as The Woman in White (1860) and The Moonstone (1868).
