Слайд 7 Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) and her sisters Emily
Bronte (1818-1848)
and Anne Bronte (1820-1849)
have charmed, inspired, and even shocked readers
from the Victorian age to the present. Raised in
Haworth, Yorkshire, the three sisters produced such
classics as Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The
Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Influenced by British Romantic
poets like Wordsworth, Scott, and Byron, the Brontes
produced a cast of unforgettable characters such as
the devoted governess, Jane Eyre, and the lovers,
Heathcliff, Cathy, and Hareton. The Bronte Family
website explores the lives, literature, and art of these
important Victorian women writers.

Слайд 10 Helen Beatrix Potter (28 July 1866 – 22 December
1943) was an
English author, illustrator, natural
scientist and conservationist best known for her imaginative
children’s books featuring animals such as those in The Tale of
Peter Rabbit which celebrated the British landscape and country
life.
Born to a comfortable middle class family, Beatrix Potter became
one of the best selling children’s author of all time. She spent
much of her early life in her own company; she rarely saw her
brother Ewan, who was sent to boarding school. Having little social
contact with children of her own age, Beatrix began to be drawn into her
own world of creating her own stories, based on animals. Beatrix was a
naturally gifted artist, and with some art lessons she also learnt the
technical side of drawing. During her childhood, and especially in the
Lake District, she looked after many animals, such as; rabbits, frogs, and
even bats. She drew these animals throughout her childhood

Слайд 14Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14

Слайд 17John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, (3 January 1892 – 2 September 1973) was
an English
writer, poet, philologist, and university professor, best known
as the author of the classic high fantasy works The Hobbit, The Lord of
the Rings, andThe Silmarillion.
After his death, Tolkien's son Christopher published a series of works
based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts,
including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord
of the Rings form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories,
invented languages, and literary essays about a fantasy world
called Arda, and Middle-earth[3] within it. Between 1951 and 1955,
Tolkien applied the term legendarium to the larger part of these
writings.[4]
While many other authors had published works of fantasy before
Tolkien,[5] the great success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Ringsled
directly to a popular resurgence of the genre. This has caused Tolkien to
be popularly identified as the "father" of modern fantasy literature[6][7]
or, more precisely, of high fantasy.
