Über das eBook

Richard Coeur de Lion and Blondel is a poem by English novelist and poet Charlotte Brontë. It is a legend about King Richard I of England, who was abducted and held captive in a castle in Austria in 1192. The poem speaks of a faithful minstrel and a musical performer called Blondel. He traveled Europe, from one castle to another, singing only the first part of a song that he and the King had written together. The aim was to get to the King when he sang the next part of the song revealing his whereabouts. Charlotte Brontë wrote the poem when she was just seventeen. She wrote beautifully about the King and his loyal minister at such a young age. It's a true gem by the talented writer. This classic poetry was taken from Charlotte Bronte's handwritten notes.


Über den Autor

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), a towering figure in the Victorian literary landscape, is renowned for her contribution to English literature as a novelist and poet. Born in Thornton, West Yorkshire, Brontë was the third of the six Brontë children. Along with her sisters Emily and Anne, Charlotte was part of a sibling trio that left a formidable mark on English fiction. While 'Richard Coeur de Lion and Blondel' is not among Brontë's acclaimed works, her most notable novels include 'Jane Eyre' (1847), 'Shirley' (1849), and 'Villette' (1853). These publications have cemented her reputation as a master of prose, who not only challenged the social norms of her time but also provided intricate psychological portraits of her characters, particularly strong-willed women. Brontë's writing style is marked by its sophisticated narrative structure, richly evocative descriptions, and the passionate expression of her protagonists' inner lives. She was adept at using first-person narratives to draw readers into the intimate thoughts and feelings of her characters, thereby forging a deep connection with her audience. Brontë's works continue to be celebrated for their originality, emotional depth, and bold treatment of themes such as love, morality, and social criticism.
