Description: | This poem by the novelist Charlotte Bronte is her tribute to the north-east wood-engraver Thomas Bewick. She gave the poem to a neighbour in the Yorkshire village of Haworth where she lived, and it was later printed in 'The Times'. In Charlotte Bronte's novel 'Jane Eyre', the heroine takes comfort from reading Bewick's 'History of Birds': 'each picture told a story; mysterious...yet ever profoundly interesting.' Thomas Bewick was also admired by many other important contemporary writers and critics such as William Wordsworth, John Ruskin, and Robert Burns. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1832 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Charlotte Bronte | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
