Remembrance. Ellis Bell
REMEMBRANCE. ELLIS BELL by Charlotte Brontë: Ellis Bell, also known as Acton Bell, is the pseudonym used by Charlotte Brontë for her poetry and literary works. The name Ellis Bell was chosen to protect Charlotte's identity as a female author in the Victorian era, when women were often marginalized and excluded from literary circles. Under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, Charlotte published several works, including "Poems by Currer Bell" and "Poems by Ellis Bell." These collections of poetry showcase her unique voice and style, which blended elements of Romanticism and Victorian literature to create a distinctive and powerful body of work. Despite the success of her pseudonymous works, Charlotte eventually revealed her true identity as the author of "Jane Eyre" and other famous novels. However, the use of Ellis Bell as a pseudonym remains an important part of literary history and a testament to Charlotte's innovative approach to writing and publishing during a time of great social change.

First lines
Cold in the earth -- and the deep snow piled above thee, Far, far, removed, cold in the dreary grave! Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee, Severed at last by Time's all-severing wave?
Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover Over the mountains, on that northern shore, Resting their wings where heath and fern-leaves cover Thy noble heart for ever, ever more?
