| Summary |
"Emily Brontë" by A. Mary F. Robinson is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the life of the renowned author, delving into her parentage, childhood, and the influences that shaped her literary career. The book focuses on significant aspects of Brontë's life, including her complex relationships with her siblings, particularly with her brother Branwell, and the impact of her early environment on her writing. The opening of the text introduces Emily Brontë's lineage and family background, emphasizing that her literary talents were not inherited from her parents, who lacked notable artistic skill. A. Mary F. Robinson explores the dynamics within the Brontë family, particularly the challenges they faced, including the early death of their mother and the subsequent neglect by their father. Robinson sets the stage to illustrate how these circumstances contributed to Emily's development as a writer, highlighting the isolation and influences of her upbringing in the moorlands of Haworth, which would later inform her famous works. The narrative begins to paint a portrait of a sensitive and imaginative child, whose life experiences would deeply inform her literary genius. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
