书籍简介

黛博拉·卢茨以深刻的洞察力和优美的文笔，生动地刻画了艾米莉·简·勃朗特——这位杰出的诗人，也是《呼啸山庄》的作者。

艾米莉·勃朗特（1818-1848）开始创作英语文学史上重要的长篇小说之一时年仅27岁。两年后，即1847年，她完成了《呼啸山庄》。世人花了近一个世纪才领略到勃朗特的这部杰作，而了解勃朗特本人则花费了更长的时间——她是一位神秘莫测的人物，英年早逝，几乎所有个人手稿的遗失（很可能已被销毁），更使她留下了挥之不去的神秘色彩。

《黑暗之夜》一书利用此前不为人知的笔记本和手稿，描绘了勃朗特、她作家姐妹夏洛蒂和安妮，以及她们姐妹和母亲的悲剧性死亡所带来的影响。在二十多年来的完整传记中，著名学者黛博拉·卢茨描绘了一位女性在打理父亲牧师住宅的同时，创作脱俗的小说：写作与家务、白日梦和探索粗犷的户外世界交织在一起。

卢茨追溯了勃朗特的生活和作品的影响，探究了勃朗特早期那些关于夜空、女性统治者、局外人和反叛者的奇幻诗歌，如何演变为充满风暴、脱俗的《呼啸山庄》。卢茨还揭示了这位传奇作家如何以被忽视的方式探讨了她所处时代的一些至今仍具有现实意义的议题，例如性别与性取向、种族与阶级，以及快速工业化与自然世界之间的冲突。

从她饲养的犬鸟，到她漫步并在小说中描绘的挚爱荒原，卢茨生动地展现了一位与传统格格不入的作家的激情。 《暗夜》将家庭生活与宇宙奇观融为一体，深入剖析了这位特立独行的女性、忧郁的灵魂和不朽的天才的生平与创作。

Deborah Lutz compellingly captures Emily Jane Brontë, extraordinary poet and author of the incomparable Wuthering Heights, with deep insight and glorious prose.

Emily Brontë (1818–1848) was only twenty-seven-years old when she began work on one of the most important novels in the English language. Two years later in 1847, she completed Wuthering Heights. It took the world almost a century to catch up to Brontë’s masterpiece, and it has taken even longer to know Brontë―an elusive figure, with a ghostly legacy provoked by her early death and the loss (and likely destruction) of almost all her personal papers.

Drawing on formerly inaccessible notebooks and manuscripts, This Dark Night constructs a portrait of Brontë, her famous writing sisters Charlotte and Anne, and the effect of their sisters’ and mother’s tragic deaths. In the first full-length biography in over twenty years, renowned scholar Deborah Lutz sketches the days of a woman crafting otherworldly fiction while running her father’s parsonage: writing interweaving with household work, daydreaming, and exploring the rough-hewn outdoors.

As she traces the influence of Brontë’s life and work, Lutz follows how Brontë’s fantastical early poems of the night sky, women rulers, and outsiders and rebels grew into the stormy, transcendent Wuthering Heights. Lutz also illuminates the overlooked ways that the legendary writer addressed debates of her time that still resonate today, including questions of gender and sexuality, race and class, and rapid industrialization set against the natural world.

From her menagerie of dogs and birds to the beloved moors that Brontë wandered and later emblazoned in her novel, Lutz depicts the passions of an author at odds with convention. Uniting the domestic and the cosmic, This Dark Night plumbs the life and writing of this idiosyncratic woman, dark soul, and monumental genius.
