At 13, Charlotte Bront\u00eb collected her verse in a humble anthology that already hinted at her ambition to become an author at a time when few women wrote for a public audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Written in the winter of 1829, the poems in Bront\u00eb\u2019s \u201cBook of Rhymes\u201d were written in tiny script to fit on scraps of paper no larger than playing cards that were hand-stitched together with a carefully written contents page. The writer of \u201cJane Eyre\u201d probably didn\u2019t intend to publish her juvenile poetry, writing in the inner cover \u201cSold By Nobody and Printed By Herself.\u201d Now, about 200 years later, the anthology will be available to the public for the first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This week, in time to celebrate the 209th anniversary of her birth, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bronte.org.uk\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum<\/a> in England published the collection of 10 poems, transcribed alongside images of their original ink-smudged pages. The anthology contains a long-form poem on the beauty of the natural world, an attempt at an epic, and a verse called \u201cA Thing of Fourteen Lines \u2014 Commonly Called a [Sonnet?]\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The anthology shows Bront\u00eb\u2019s deletions and rearranged stanzas, showing lines crossed out and rewritten. In preserving her ink-stained edits, the little manuscript also shows an aspiring author already grappling with character and perspective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey chart her development as a writer,\u201d said Ann Dinsdale, the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum\u2019s principal curator. The original manuscript, which was lost for at least a century, will also go on display at the museum, in Haworth, in northern England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The existence of the poems was known thanks to a biography of Bront\u00eb, written by the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/elizabethgaskellhouse.co.uk\/about-elizabeth-gaskells-house\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Victorian novelist<\/a> Elizabeth Gaskell and published in 1857. Gaskell wrote of a catalog of early poems and stories by Bront\u00eb, first written at age 10 and numbering 22 titles by the time she was 14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">These juvenile works, including \u201cA Book of Rhymes,\u201d were later treasured by collectors. Records show that \u201cA Book of Rhymes\u201d came up for auction in New York in 1916 \u2014 but then it vanished. It reappeared in 2022, where it was the headline item at the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sold by an anonymous private collector, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/30\/arts\/charlotte-bronte-book-discovery.html?searchResultPosition=1\" title=\"\">the anthology fetched $1.25 million<\/a> at an auction that year, held on the 206th anniversary of Bront\u00eb\u2019s birth. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fnl.org.uk\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Friends of the National Libraries<\/a>, a British nonprofit, raised that amount with donations from nine donors, including the Garfield Weston Foundation and the estate of T.S. Eliot, to stop the book from again disappearing into another private collection. It was then donated to the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum, which is based in the parsonage where the Bront\u00eb family lived and wrote in the 19th century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">From their home in Haworth, the Bront\u00eb siblings \u2014 Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their brother Branwell \u2014 produced tiny magazines that contained elaborate worlds: Their imagined readers were a set of toy soldiers that they played with, making up adventures. The children gathered any scrap of paper they could find, writing on sugar bags and bounding their books in scraps of wallpaper, Dinsdale, the museum curator, said. They wrote to scale for the toy soldiers, but by making the text so small, they also kept the prying eyes of adults from looking into their little world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Bront\u00eb wrote \u201cA Book Of Rhymes\u201d in the voice of two of the toy soldiers, the Marquis of Duro and Lord Charles Wellesley, and imagined them setting off on an expedition through a Canadian forest where \u201cbranches mingle over head \/ casting a solemn shade \/ oe\u2019r the lone pathway which I tread\u201d or on an exiled journey through the biblical Babylon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The young Bront\u00ebs\u2019 early work reflects what they were reading at the time, Dinsdale said. She added that they were encouraged by their father, Patrick Bront\u00eb, a priest who also studied bird life, who would take the children on long walks over the moors around their home. He encouraged Charlotte to observe the natural landscape, which became a signature of her writing, Dinsdale said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Long before her characters would muddy their skirts in the bucolic landscapes of her novels, teenage Charlotte Bront\u00eb captured the natural environment in her poems \u201cAutumn, a Song\u201d and \u201cSpring, a Song.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMeantime the rushing stream which roars along \/ its black waves foaming in high majesty\u201d she writes in a poem called \u201cA Bit of a Rhyme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The verse is imperfect, but an already reflective Bront\u00eb knew this, writing in the introduction: \u201cThe following are attempts at rhyming of an inferior nature, it must be acknowledged, but they are nevertheless my best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum partnered with a local publisher and asked the musician, author and poet Patti Smith to write the foreword. In it, she writes that Bront\u00eb\u2019s teenage writing transported her back to her own childhood, when imagination offered her an escape from reality. The poems show a cleareyed writer determined to wield invention \u201cas a benevolent weapon,\u201d Smith writes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is not simply a handful of juvenile verses,\u201d she adds, \u201cbut the manifestation of an ambitious dreamer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/25\/books\/charlotte-bronte-teenage-poems.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few teenagers would want the world to read their poems.
