Anne Brontes Literary Success as a Visionary Writer

Anne Bronte as a visionary writer: her literary success I am reminded of a parable as to what happens when one desires to beat time. A childless couple approached the Perfect Master for his grace to be blessed with progeny. The Master who had the power to know the past, present and the future, advised them that they were not lucky in this respect in this birth. They pleaded for His grace and the Perfect Master warned them of the consequences of taking liberty with the laws of nature. Yet, the couple was persistent. â€Å"So be it†, said the Perfect Master and after nine months a baby-girl was born to the couple, but strangely, her right was folded and the child had a natural cell phone (made of flesh and blood) in her grip. She was not able to stretch her hands. â€Å"This child is part of the generation that we are going to get after ninety years, and I have pulled a soul that was due to take birth then, for your present benefit†, said the Perfect Master. â€Å"I have picked up one soul from that lot, and you are thus spe cially graced†. Similarly, Anne Bronte was able to visualize in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall the characteristics of the twenty-first generation. Anne Bronte (1820-1849) was the contemporary of Karl Marx (1818-1883) but her lifespan was just 29 years. If her literature is read today in front of the grave of Karl Marx it would make him shift in the grave. At such a young age, her thinking was revolutionary, even without being exposed to the secular world in a big way.Show MoreRelatedVictorian Novel9605 Words   |  39 Pagesis one transcending aspect to Victorian England life and society, that aspect is change.
