Hello and Welcome!
I am ellisbell, the author of Pointed Lace. The name Ellis Bell was also the pseudonym of Emily Bronte, one of literature’s foremost novelists. In 1846 Emily and her sisters Charlotte and Anne published their first volume of poetry assuming male identities: Charlotte was Currer Bell and Anne was Acton Bell. I have been fascinated with the Brontes and their works and since studying them in some depth, I have been drawn the world of Women’s Literature, particularly that of the Victorian period. Besides the Brontes, another author whose writings I find intriguing is L.M.Montgomery, a Canadian author best known for the Anne of Green Gables series of novels.
This blog will serve as a forum for presenting my thoughts on women’s lives in Literature, which includes exploring their various identities from witches to authoresses to angels in the house.
