Anne Bronte Reimagined by Adelle Hay
Anne Bronte may not be the most famous author in her family, but she is now widely believed to have written the finest of all the Bronte works and the first ever feminist novel. Discover the real Anne and why she was for so long in her sisters' shadow.
"What pleases me most [of recent books on Anne].. and best reveals the sources of Anne's strength, is Hay's chapter on "Anne in Nature", with its sensitive readings of her poetry and novels." Jacqueline Banerjee, Times Literary Supplement; "[Anne] is seen and shown to be ahead of her time and in this treatment, she finds an era in which her concerns, approach, philosophy and imagination ring truer than in her own ... as is not always the case with biographies, the subject is allowed to speak for herself ... well worth reading." Helen Brown, Courier; "An important contribution to Bronte studies that reinforces why Anne Bronte is such a significant Victorian writer and why her books remain relevant to contemporary culture." Claire O'Callaghan; "This is a sensitive, thoughtful, and enriching book that shines a vibrant new light on Anne Bronte calling for a radical reimagining of her work and life in the popular imagination. It does that rare thing in Bronte books of acknowledging Anne's genius without comparing her to her sisters or diminishing any of their talents and achievements ... to firmly reposition her as a revolutionary author whose voice still needs to be heard today." Dr Sophie Franklin
Adelle Hay is a lifelong Brontë aficionada and a passionate advocate for Anne Brontë’s place in the canon of classic English writers, alongside her better-known sisters, Charlotte and Emily. The Brontës inspired Adelle’s love of books from a young age, and she even went on to become a bookbinder before starting work on an academic project that focuses on textual criticism of Anne Brontë’s work, and how it has been edited ever since. Adelle’s dream is to create a digital archive of all the Brontë manuscripts in existence, ensuring the sisters’ seminal writing is preserved for future generations to read, interpret and enjoy.
