Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell
Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, published in 1846, was the first book of the Brontë sisters, issued under pseudonyms that kept their initials and hid their sex. It sold only a handful of copies, yet it contains Emily's finest lyrics, among them "Remembrance," "The Prisoner," "The Old Stoic" and "To Imagination." Charlotte contributes longer narrative and dramatic pieces such as "Pilate's Wife's Dream," "Gilbert" and "The Teacher's Monologue," and Anne gentle devotional poems including "The Doubter's Prayer" and "The Narrow Way." Read together, the three voices show the sisters' different temperaments a year before their first novels appeared. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first poems are free.
