Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell by Brontë, Brontë, and Brontë" is a poetry collection published in 1846. The three Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—adopted male pseudonyms to escape prejudice against female writers. Their first published work, the book sold only two copies in its first year. Yet this modest beginning preceded the sisters' literary triumphs: "Jane Eyre," "Wuthering Heights," and "Agnes Grey." The collection marks the quiet debut of three voices that would reshape Victorian literature.
