Tragic, virginal, sweet, stoic, selfless Anne. The less talented Brontë, the other Brontë .  \nOr that’s what Samantha Ellis, a life-long Emily and Wuthering Heights devotee, had always thought. Until, that is, she started questioning that devotion and, in looking more closely at Emily and Charlotte, found herself confronted by Anne instead.  \nTake Courage is Samantha ’s personal, poignant and surprising journey into the life and work of a woman sidelined by history. A brave, strongly feminist writer well ahead of her time – and her more celebrated siblings – and who has much to teach us today about how to find our way in the world.  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR  \nSamantha Ellis is a playwright and journalist. Her first book How To Be A Heroine was published in 2014. Her plays include Cling to Me Like Ivy, Operation Magic Carpet and How to Date a Feminist. She has written for the Guardian, Observer, TLS, Spectator, Literary Review, the Pool, Exeunt and more. She lives in London.  \nALSO BY SAMANTHA ELLIS  \nHow To Be A Heroine  \nFor Jude  \nINTRODUCTION  \nUntil I found myself holding Anne Brontë ’s last letter in my hands, I thought I knew all I needed to know about her. I thought she was a virginal Victorian spinster, sweet and stoic, selfless and sexless, achieving very little before wasting away at twenty-nine. Emily had always been my top Brontë . I’d come to appreciate Charlotte ’s toughness and spirit. I’d sometimes thought it might be fun to have a drink with Branwell. But Anne had always seemed a bit, well, boring. Gentle. Pious. Meek. The less talented Brontë, the one in her sisters ’ shadow, the other Brontë .  \nI’m in Yorkshire, giving a reading from my last book, which pitched Wuthering Heights against Jane Eyre. While I’m here, Ann Dinsdale, the collections manager at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, offers to show me some Brontë treasures – and no Brontë fan could refuse.  \nIt’s my first time meeting Ann Dinsdale but I have often seen her on TV; every time there ’s some new Brontë discovery, she appears, white-gloved, dressed in black, with a fierce dark bob and a slash of red lipstick. It’s a blowy May morning and the Parsonage is empty except for us; this is the lull before it opens to the public.  \nAnn leads me through the kitchen, which is kept as if the Brontës have just popped out for a moment. A book leans against an old-fashioned set of scales, the black range gleams like it has just been polished, tea towels have been hung up as if to dry and a red tea cosy sits ready to warm a pot. Undoing the cordon, careful not to set off the alarms, Ann opens a heavy wooden door, and then weare in the annexe added after the Brontës ’ time, which is now the library, lined with glass-fronted, floor-to-ceiling bookcases in dark wood, full of everything you ever wanted to know about the Brontës and quite a lot you didn’t. There are three desks squashed up by the windows, which look out onto the moors, rain spattering the glass, sheep shivering. A yellowing newspaper clipping taped to a filing cabinet reads, ‘In Austen, sex is just a kiss on the hand. In the Brontës, everything happens.’ I assume it refers to","cbCaiawAB92Bs6Hr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiawAB92Bs6Hr","pdf",1172501,163,"English","# Introduction\n## Maria, or how to know who you come from\n## Elizabeth, or how to do the right thing (and how to know what that is)\n## Tabby, or how to find solace in nature\n## Emily, or how to imagine yourself into another life\n## Charlotte, or how (not) to be a sister\n## Agnes, or how to work\n## Branwell, or how bad love can destroy you\n## Patrick, or how to change yourself(so you can change the world)\n## Helen, or how to be the artist of your own life\n## Anne, or how to take courage","[{\"question\":\"What does Take Courage aim to challenge about Anne Brontë’s reputation?\",\"answer\":\"It questions the assumption that Anne was the least talented sister and largely sidelined by history, arguing she has distinct lessons and significance beyond her more celebrated siblings.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author connect her research to real Brontë artifacts?\",\"answer\":\"The introduction describes a visit to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, where the author is guided through preserved domestic spaces and offered Anne’s last letter and other treasures.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the thematic focus of the book’s chapter structure?\",\"answer\":\"Each chapter centers on a Brontë figure—such as Maria, Elizabeth, Tabby, Emily, Charlotte, Agnes, Branwell, Patrick, Helen, and Anne—framing their stories around identity, choice, solace, work, love, transformation, artistry, and courage.\"}]","Take Courage - Anne Brontë and the Art of Life | PDF",1789947636,251]
