if they lived to average ages, they'd be as well renowned as Homer, Dante, Twain, any other great author or more.

you're right but it doesn't feel this way, all I ever hear about is London

[Anonymous No.22042667]

Dante or Homer no. They already are as renowned as Twain tho and I think at least one would rank with Melville if they all lived to old age and kept writing. Glorious kino

Charlotte is best girl

[Anonymous No.22042745]

>>22042729
yeah because charlotte was the last to die and took it upon herself to decide what was worth preserving from the other sisters and what to destroy. she tried to destroy anne's "the tenant of wildfell hall", and none of anne or emily's extravagantly detailed world "Gondal" exists other than poems and diary references

[Anonymous No.22042816]

>>22042745

She didnt destory it she stopped it being reprinted because she thought it was coarse and reflected badly on her sister, she wasn't burning manuscripts.

I wonder why she felt thay way about tenant but not wuthering heights.

>Emily and Anne shared a romantic friendship in the grand Victorian sense, heightened by the fact that as blood relatives an even greater level of physical intimacy was permitted. Ellen Nussey described the sisters as "twins" and "inseparable." It was observed that any space which could contain Emily could contain Anne and vice-versa, they could share the smallest chair and narrowest bed, so willing were they to nestle together and intertwine. Emily initially shared a bed with Charlotte but Charlotte tired of this and insisted on her own bed, leaving Emily and Anne to sleep together whenever they were both at the Parsonage until the very last stages of Emily's losing battle with tuberculosis. When Anne left, first to attend school and then work as a governess, Emily cried herself to sleep for months.

Tenant is a scathing and systematic takedown of branwell’s dissolute lifestyle. It made Charlotte very uncomfortable since it spoke ill of the dead.

>Through his death in 1990, Jewish-American illustrator and engraver Fritz Eichenberg maintained that between the winter of 1943 and the Spring of 1946 he was haunted by the ghost of Emily Brontë. The long-dead victorian novelist first appeared to him, he claimed, while on an overnight drunk in Central Park during a low point in his artistic career. By his own admission an alcoholic and on the brink of freezing to death on a snowy night Eichenberg “awoke after two o’clock to the sight of a wan woman, barefoot and in a old-fashioned night gown carrying a taper candle. The little light guttered in the wind and shone only on her face. It bobbed as she knelt to pick heather from the snow - which did not grow there - and garland it about her wrists. I called out to her and was ignored but in time she came to me and saw me home. At my doorstep she pressed a sprig of heather and a Guinea into my hand - so saving me from cold and starvation.”
>Eichenberg, who was in the midst of illustrating a re-edition of Wuthering Heights, came to believe that the process of closely reading and, by the act of illustration, corresponding creatively with a dead author could call their spirit back. By pawning the Guinea, supposedly minted in 1847, Eichenberg obtained the financial stability to complete the project. Emily Brontë would return to him regularly, convincing him to abandon drinking, take up an exercise regimen of long walks and swimming, and redouble his commitment to his art.

Does emily have the 12 gauge? I'm asking because I'm masturbating

[Anonymous No.22044446]

>>22044424
It was a 16 ga.
> When his son Branwell turned 14, Patrick gifted him a muzzle loading shotgun with a bore roughly equivalent to the modern 16 gauge. As Branwell became more dissolute the shotgun would de-facto become the property of Patrick's middle daughter Emily who kept it near the fireplace in the kitchen loaded with "buck and ball" - a deadly charge consisting of a large musket ball surrounded by around six buckshot pellets. Buck and ball was suited almost exclusively for defense against humans and when Emily walked the moors with the gun she would load birdshot instead. Emily loved the shotgun and her father's pistols, regularly practicing with them. As Patrick's eyesight failed, he explicitly entrusted her with the duty of defending the parsonage against Luddites and burglars.
