Explore Stancliffes Hotel Author Charlotte Brontë Classified In Readable Copy

little collection of stories that Charlotte Brontë wrote in her teenage years, They were fun and thrilling but the collection made me wish for more something more detailed and well constructed, It's only worth reading because Charlotte Bronte wrote it, This entertaining bit of juvenalia shows once again that Charlotte Bronte is a satirist, a parodist and a wit, Nothing she writes should be taken at face value, She is a sly and tricky writer, that one is, This was very confusing and I'm still not sure what I read, Charlotte Brontë honing her skills,

The little vignettes of Stancliffe's Hotel are great fun, They do not offer the level of sophistication of Charlotte Bronte's mature works, but they do provide delightful insight into her imagination, and into her relationship with her brother, with whom she created this world and its people.
Fans of Bronte will be interested in reading some of her juvenilia, I'm a big fan of Jane Eyre so I was hoping this would be a bit similar but it's not remotely, The writing is quite poetic and modern, which I applaud, but it's just so confusing, I can't find any summaries online so I don't know if I'll ever understand what happened in this story, Charlotte wrote Stancliffe Hotel when she was only twenty two, With lively irony, she depicts the exploits and intrigues of the decadent inhabitants of the imaginary kingdom of Angria at the centre of which is the power struggle between the Duke of Northangerland and his Byronic soninlaw Zamorna.


Charlottes extensive vocabulary still shocks me to this day, She writes with such flowery language, picking and choosing the most obscure words to describe things, Its one of my favourite things about her, and this is only one example of how vase her vocab actually was,

as usual, the topic of the Angrian stories dont interest me that much, Im not much of a fan of books concerned with war, politics and stuff amongst those lines, These are no different. But what I do like about their juvenilia is that its so different to their novels, Theres such a jump between the story of Jane Eyre to Charlottes juvenilia its kind of crazy to think that she wrote both of them, I definitely think her age played into this when she was younger, she had free reign to explore these things more openly and she older she tries to write to a certain standard.


It was nice example of Charlottes juvenilia, but it definitely wasnt my favourite, Ive read more enjoyable ones, but Im glad I read this nonetheless, Its very heartwarming and wholesome to think of the Brontë siblings sitting down to write these in the nineteenth century, I imagine a rainy day, a wooden table covered in papers, and lots of whispering, So charming.

Sadly, I wasnt as taken with these vignettes as I had believed I would be, Set in a fictional place, the focus seemed to be on the political goings on of the country, It felt plotless, with no real direction other than the narrator wandering around aimlessly and giving us his commentary, I was completely lost.

The fault will, no doubt, lie in part with Penguin, who have again chosen to snip passages from a larger work, with no context, grounding, or explanation.


This is the penultimate book in the Little Black Classics range, and let me tell you dear ones, I am delighted to be almost at the end of this collection.
Im so confused by this little book, It has no coherent plot and none of the scenes seemed to be related to each other, I read Stancliffes Hotel in one sitting but was left feeling like I had wasted my time,

I love Charlotte Bronte as a writer and this doesnt lessen my appreciation for her, Stancliffes Hotel seems to be just practicing for her later works and writing in general and as that, I dont quite see the point of even publishing it.
A collection of short stories a little haphazard in construction, but you can see the beginnings of Brontë's brilliance in the world of Angria and her occasional humorous zingers and bold experimentation of literary techniques.
In itself nothing extraodrinary, but when positioned among her wider catalogue these stories provide a nice segeway into her more developed novels and would be of interest to an avid Brontë fan.
"I like the city. So long as winter lasts, it would be no easy task to entice me from its warm and crowded precincts, So long even as spring, with lingering chills, scatters her long showers and fitful blinks of sunshine, . . "

Unintended for publication, and a jaunt amongst siblings may people find the onlyrecentlyputtogetherandpublished works of the Brontës, amongst many others, difficult to follow and superfluous.
It's a work that needs a little context for the modern reader, Stancliffe's Hotel works as an insight into dandyism so unlike Rochester and a testament to Charlotte's skill and a spoof of contemporary political turmoil projected into alternate histories.
Amongst the witticisms I find, as expected, Charlotte's descriptions and personifications to be the most compelling and textured part of these family writings, To be perfectly honest this excerpt from the Bronte's Angria writings doesn't make an awful lot of sense without the context of the other stories, but it is nice look into the style of Charlotte Bronte's juvenalia.
Plus I'm a sucker for almost any kind of Ruritania, Obviously this is a selection of stories from Angria and they don't all make sense but damn these characters are so good, I have laughed out loud everyone is very unhinged it is iconic These witty, racy vignettes set in Charlotte Brontë's imaginary kingdom of Angria feature rakish dandies, highsociety courtesans and the dashing hero Zamorna.
